The men being put to death for the crimes they have committed are dying by asphyxiation.
They are not being executed, they are being deprived of oxygen by an induced coma.
The Versed puts the prisoner under oxygen deprivation quickly and lasts for ONLY 15 minutes as the longest. The Versed wears off and there can easily be a renewed awareness of his circumstances, but, the Dilaudid would continue to cause increased sedation and RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION.
The Dilaudid sedation is what is causing RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION as it is given in significant amounts. The prisoner succumbs GRADUALLY to oxygen deprivation. If a oximeter was allied to these prisons as they die, it would be noted the oxygen saturation would be dropping and finally to a fatal level. This is torture, it is not execution.
I'll state it one more time. The prisoners sentenced to death are dying of asphyxiation.
