Ok so if someone were sentenced to death, by however they choose, and they were given an option as a last meal, but it was something they were allergic to and once the ate it they started having a reaction..would they help them and then kill them or would they just be like oh well who cares, was supposed to die anyways..or would you do something different?...just something always wondered.assuming people actually get a last meal (but for this question they do)
Answers:
well of course treat them, we're humans not animals. We will spend another few thousands of tax payer money and when the inmates is feeling better take him to the special room, throw the switch, let him fry, suffocate or feel the prick of the needle, when done we'll go home and have a steak dinner.
interesting
Probably treat them, and then kill them.
i think they would help them and then kill them "officially." Not helping them would constitute lack of care, and besides, I it is decided officially how the convict is supposed to die. It's all about officiality.
I am guessing they would try and revive that person so they could punish them in their own fashion.
I will say this, if that allergic took place , that person will be giving a stay of execution until he or she are healthy enough to be executed.
They should be helped for a couple of reasons. Perhaps they were not guilty of the crime they were found guilty of, and secondly, if they are to die, then what would be a reason not to give them one last thing on earth that they would enjoy and if it gave them an adverse reaction, it would be the human thing to do to help them.
You're funny!! Yes, prisoners get a last meal if they request it and it is anything they choose to eat. I think lethal injection or whatever means are used is more for the people they hurt to get some kind of closer, because I've never heard of anyone being allowed to end their own lives by eating something they knew they were allergic to. Good question, though.
If the reaction was severe, they would postpone the execution and clean the convicted out with lots of Laxatives etc. He has to be in good health in order to be executed. When he is recovered from the reaction, he would NOT be given any more food of his own choosing - only Prison grub. Then he would be executed.
If the person was in a jail system where they had records on the person, they would know he was allergic to any foods. And I am sure the person wouldn't ask for it...
Last meals are 'last' because they're not gonna get another one.
To purposely give a prisoner food they are allergic to is 'inhumane', not to mention could be considered an attempt of murder if the prisoner was deathly allergic to the food.
They would do their best to save their life. Same thing with the alcohol swab. I would order the biggest and best meal I could, eat a couple of cheese burgers and a diet coke, give the rest to my friends. Come on. As long as you sit in that tiny cell, let's try to be human beings.
Well, the Constitution prohibits "cruel and unusual" punishment. Even though we think "oh well one way or the other he has to die," but the law will probably regard letting someone die from allergic reactions as "cruel and unusual" punishment because the allergic reaction may be more painful and last longer than the lethal injection.
So to answer your question, they would help him out first before executing him.
No, they have to keep the condemned alive and well until he/she is pronounced dead. A stay of execution can happen any time up the time they pronounce them dead.
Letting the convict eat something that will cause an allergic reaction on execution day is something that has a one in a billion chance of happening. Because the convict would be in prison for quite some time before execution. So would have eaten all the different types of prison food.( which is not many) If by chance that happens the convict will be saved because the convicts welfare is still under their care. The execution would be postponed to a later date to be carried out when the convict is all hale and healthy.
Treat them,and then kill them. Legally they have to treat them. In 1999 a Texas Death row inmate took an overdose of prescriction pills he was hospitalized and executed 2 days later. Read the whole story about suicides the day or a few days before the execution date below.
Letting someone die by "allergic reaction" would be in violation of the eighth amendment and would have the libtards in a panic.
They sterilize the needle before doing a lethal injection.
That should answer your question.
