Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Can the vow that doctors take to do no harm permit taking part in capital punishment? This week, the New York Times Op-Docs brings you Death Row Doctor, about Dr. Carlo Musso and his assistance with executions in Georgia. Directed by Lauren Knapp, the film challenges us to answer the question of whether having a doctor in the execution chamber is a perversion of medicine or a common-sense act of mercy.

There is NO JUSTIFICATION for any Doctor of medicine to participate in the execution of anyone. IT IS COMPLETELY CONTRARY to the oath he took on becoming a doctor. This is NOT health care. It is the entire destruction of an individuals health to the point of death. There is no philosophical, ethical, social argument that can justify the deliberate causing of the death of another as a form of punishment. The only justification is placing revenge as the guiding principal, in other words hate.
As for participation in the execution of another being an act of mercy. There is no mercy in killing anyone as a form of punishment who does not wish to die. The suggestion of it being an act of mercy is nothing other than a vague delusion necessary for this man to participate in killing another human being. It preposterous!

How you gonna seat down and think about it, one day you will wake up hopefully, and realise that no one without any doubt have the right to take life!
But it will be too late for you and you will get down in the slopes of remorse. but you can't fix it, and you know it. you can't bring this ppl back.
You are the most wretched person ever.
Don't be ashamed to take your words back, just stop!
I'm not a hippie I can except death during a war. war is something different, but it isn't a war.
I really hope for you that you will stop as soon as you can, peace will not be part of ur life forever, and if you really truly in peace with ur self, you should see a psychiatrist.

I was watching a video about using fentanyl to execute prisoners. In the comments people were saying how wrong it is that someone gets injected and then just drifts off to sleep, never to wake up.
It seems important to them the prisoner is awake and suffers. The whole system seems to be more about revenge for the victims family than a humane method of execution. If they want that then a family member should step up and press the button that starts the syringes pumping. I doubt many of them will be able to do it. It's not an easy thing to do killing someone.

Right on, Doctor. No doctor at executions just means unqualified folk torturin g peopled tgo dezath with multiple needle sticks needed to preform the execution by lethal injection. For no torture, follow the French people TO THE GILOITINE---INSTANT DEATH, REUSABLE MACHINE AND NO CHEMICALS TO PAY FOR OR BEING UNABLE TO BUY LIKE FIRST ANESTHETIC SODOIUM PENTATHOL. Harte' Seibert

If someone takes another persons right to live away then they shall lose their right to live its very simple why do people like you have to make it more complex than it actually is? If someone brutally murders you shall we let that person live even though they took your right to live? I think not
reply

He's right. If I had a family member being executed, I would rather an experienced physician were there than not.
So much trouble, so much suffering in this world. Somehow, the presence of someone experienced in life and death being present would make something horrible seem less chaotic.

Bring back the electric chair and make it the only form of execution. People feared the chair, maybe think twice before murdering someone if you know you are going to ride the lightning. All the people saying ban the death penalty should call up the victim's families and see what they think.

I came here ready to hate this man. but now I admire his honesty. what a heavy burden he has. Over here in the UK we only had hanging as the Death sentence and I think it's quicker, more painless. but seams more barbaric to the public, so we stopped it and that was the correct decision.
reply

Horrible fact of the day: One death row inmate was told by the government that he wasnt guaranteed a painless death when his request to be killed by deadly gass was dined (he claimed to have a medical condition which would make hes execution painful)
reply

drs who work in jails arent wanted anywhere else, i knew someone(quite well) that was a Dr at county, she couldnt keep on staff anywhere else.
if you checked this Drs backround its probably not very good. most likely not good at all.
