    How would you feel about being the person who has to inject the lethal injection into somebody on death row or electrocute em or whatever? I mean, personal issues aside. And how does one go about getting such a job? I wonder if occupationaloutlookhandbook.com has it as a referenced job? I should check...

    I would probably feel indifferent and wouldn't be bothered by it.

    To get such a job you probably have to be a nurse practitioner, at least.

    i couldn't do it. especially not the lethal injection; needles scare the shit out of me.

    i thought it was just someone who worked for the prison...

    I hope that it was the priest.

    Kinda like a two for one combo.

    Prayer and injection... gotta respect versatility.

    I think the lethal injectors actually are doctors, if I recall correctly. Do you think electricians have to pull the switch for the chair?!

    Hmm... maybe the Buddhists.

    Those monks really need to take their aggression out on something. It might stop them from setting themselves on fire.

    I can't answer something like this without considering my personal issues on the topic.

    Since I'm find the death penalty immoral, personal issues don't go aside.

    Unless you tickle someone to death. Hilarious.
