This is one of those things to where if you screw up you can just keep trying.  Inhumane??   We really gonna worry ourselves about that??

If there's no better option, there's no better option.
Sad that the Executioner might have to continue the job while yhe condemned man writhes in pain, but if we don't have any better way, then that's the way it has to be.

But we do have a better way. Nitrogen.

Well, it the executioner cans handle someone not dying, then I’d say he’s in the wrong business.  I understand what you’re saying.  The mental aspect of a botched execution could mess with someone’s mind.   But again, if that is part of the job description and you can’t do it, it’s not his place to be there.  I’m sure family members of the victims, doctors, military members would gladly do the job and in cases without the pay.  Point is, the executioner’s thoughts and feelings shouldn’t be an issue.  Or at least can be resolved.  Main priority is sending a sack of [BLEEP] to hell.  I mean, how many people do we need to cater to?
