Thread:Comments:Final US manufacturer ceases production of lethal injection drug; executions delayed/Comments from feedback form - "The condemed person must not s..."

The condemed person must not suffer cruel or unusual punishment.However,painless death would be mrciful.My question is when sodiunthopental is used in an exicution: 1-d oes thecomdenmed person become unconsious before dying? Is the conemned person able to feel or experience any pain? 3- Are ther any harmful side effects that would cause anyone taking this drug to soffer? If the answers to questions 1.2.&3 are all no,and due process of law has beeen served,I see no harm in continuing production of sodium thiopental, and using it as medicaly directd-for exicution- or therwise.
