(Dec. 8) -- An Ohio inmate, convicted of killing and dismembering a 22-year-old woman in 1991, was executed Tuesday using a new, untested one-drug method of lethal injection, state officials said.

Kenneth Biros, 51, was pronounced dead at 11:47 a.m. at a prison in Lucasville, Ohio, the state attorney general's office said in a written statement.

Seemed to work fine then.

I did not know Ohio had the death penalty.

It's not an untested drug, for goodness sake, it's a standard one-shot procedure for humanely putting down pets in veterinary surgeries, I even wonder whether any drug's ever had more practical use for killing large mammals.

Sure, well, it is tested now anyway...

Tested yes its tested used on animals daily and it is also a part of the usual 3 doses of different drugs method used as the standard for putting people to death now just in a higer dose when used as the only method.

Seems it worked just fine. Wish the women he killed had the option of not suffering or feeling pain.

Just wondering if criminals were to to death the SAME way they took their victims life if it would have an impact

I'm sure it would. What purpose do you think execution has, though? Why do judicial systems execute criminals?

Who cares? One less murdering b@astard in the world. They put animals to sleep don't they? How is this different?

I care because I'm interested in the answer and I find it hard to get anyone either to be honest or to make the effort to express an accurate answer.

What reasons do people have for putting animals to sleep, then, if you want to approach it from that point of view. I'm not sure how the two ideas overlap.
