I've seen quite a few people and animals die and it always looks so peaceful. But, I've never seen anyone executed. I really don't have a need to witness one either.
I go back and forth on the death penalty. I don't see the purpose as a deterrant nor as a punishment. I'd rather die than spend the rest of my life in jail.
I do have to admit that I am fascinated with the guillotine as a mechanism of death. Go figure.
