11. sanitizing capital punishment

Seems to me this drug is used to prevent those killing the convict from witnessing the gruesomeness involved in their state's particular method of dispatching the soul of a human from its body--if the state is going to be in the business of doing that, then why should they be shielded from the horror of what they're doing? Confinement for life cures having to witness that. Capital punishment should not be sanitized to protect those who believe in it and want to see it carried out. They should have to have that burned into their psyche for the rest of their days if they're for the death penalty. There should be some price for that.
