The way we've tried to sanitize it as well is rather horrific. People are led to believe that just because we don't do hangings or the electric chair anymore it's become a more civilized process. Now it's untrained state employees injecting people with tainted black market chemicals because pharmaceutical companies have stopped selling to the states. Multiple times now a person has survived their execution for hours or even days in agony after the state has injected them with poison.
A few years back a man in Utah was asking to be sent in front of a firing squad as it was more humane than our lethal injection.

As executions have gotten less gruesome, they've gotten slower and more painful. I'd rather be shot or guillotined than electrocuted or poisoned, but those show blood, so no thank you.

The next one they'll do is get people drunk at a rager until they pass out and then bury them alive. We only see the fun bits!
