Yes, so they chose an alternative that is meant to be as painless as the old method.
They chose a mechanical non- biological method that could proceed without the medical community, again this isn't out of benevolence, they were forced to act less cruelly because their hands were forced by the medical community.
And the old method was often misadministered so it was often as painful as they could make it. Link I have no doubt someone will find a way to make suffocation painful. Even if the method on the books is painless. The cruelty is/ was/ and always has been the point.
You do love straw men.
No, if they wanted to be cruel, they could bring back hanging, the firing squad, or the electric chair. This is better than those.
You are making accusations with zero proof.

That doesn’t support your allegation that it was deliberately made painful. Hell, your own link says Ohio postponed executions to reevaluate. You are adding malice solely on the bases your your opinion.
It was deliberately made painful by the reports of the survivors. They took what was a deliberately painless set of injections and would administer massive overdoses of the killing portion of the cocktail without administering the sedative portion. I don't want to remember how I know this. There were various reports of individual staff members overseeing the cases, included in how I've come to this conclusion.
What survivors? The article is about finding from autopsies.
And even then, they have no knowledge of anyone’s motives.
A few people have survived their first administration of a lethal injection. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/28/lethal-injection-surviving-execution-attempt-alabama
They couldn’t find a vein. There is no evidence for your allegations.
And then shouldn’t you be happier with this new method? No need to find a vein.
And I wonder why that is?
Could it be that no study is allowed on executions. I am talking about individual reports in the medical community . https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/dpic-reports/in-depth/behind-the-curtain-secrecy-and-the-death-penalty-in-the-united-states
I am not happier with any method to execute someone because the cruelty was always the point, not rehabilitation and not deterrence.
How'd that execution turn out? Oh it took 22 minutes to die.
