Description of execution in the gas chamber (1) - In the gas chamber, a person is strapped in a chair. The guards close the door and seal it. Then they drop the little pill into a bowl of acid. The fumes start to come up. Because of the straps, the condemned is not able to move away from the fumes. He may try not to breathe, but he has to. Then, slowly and painfully, he strangles to death. It would not be a sight most of us would want to witness. It is even a horrible thought to put in your mind, but it is a necessary thought, because you have to think about the consequences of a death verdict. You have to think about all the bad things: the straining against the straps, the gagging, the loss of all bodily functions. Is that what you want for a human being? Is that what you want? Is it? Perhaps the decision, even though it is your decision, is best left for God, not man.
