This is an extreme interesting issue to me. This has the potential to either be a public relations disaster or success. There are many different questions that should be considered.
What happens if the shortage is not cured soon?
Should another method be used?
How long would that take to be approved and would the public have a say in the decision?
Should another business be opened that produces the drug?
Where would that business be and would that cause a public relations issue amongst the people who protest the death penalty?
It will be very interesting to observe how this issue is resolved.

Wow! I am also interested in how this issue will be resolved. I'm wondering why there was a shortage in the first place and how much money is spent on these drugs. Is there a monopoly on who produces them?
ReplyDeleteI think that anytime there is information put out there about the death penalty and how it is enforced, it reopens the controversy. I know it did when I read it! :)
Here is a follow up story that was recently released by NPR regarding the drug shortage used for execution. Oaklahoma is considering using a drug that is used to euthanize animals on prisoners who are waiting on death row.
