Indeed.. in some countries they still chop heads off or stone to death or whatever the case may be.

But somehow electrocution and causing internal organ failure is "humane" and we look at other countries as being barbaric.

It is not man's decision to whether another should live, only his responsibility to protect society from them. Stop locking people up for stupid shit and keep the real criminals behind bars.
