Each year there are about 250 people added to death row and 35 executed. From 1976 to 1995 there were a total of 314 people put to death in the US 179 of them were put to death using lethal injection, 123 were put to death using electrocution, 9 were put to death in a gas chamber, 2 were hanged, and 1 was put to death using the firing squad. The death penalty is the harshest form of punishment enforced in the United Sates today. …showed first 75 words of 1641 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1641 total…Although over all I think that the death penalty is a bad solution to this problem, the idea of two wrongs don't make a right comes into play in this case quite stongly, if it is really needed then I would have to say that lethal injection is the most humane form of execution. Although it is humane, I don't think I would be able to go through with actually being executed or executing someone.
