No, it isn't becoming prevalent in today's society. It
is becoming prevalent in today's journalism, which is
a very different thing. And if you ever needed an
argument in favor of the death penalty, the fact that
a majority of American journalists oppose it, is a
very strong argument in favor of the death penalty.

I assume you meant "humane" execution. And yes, there
are humane executions. Most executions by lethal
injection are far more humane than the misery and pain
that come with accidental death, death by cancer or
death at the hands of a psychopath.

As to the violence to the inner person, prove it. I
would rather pass my last moment with a painless
injection than dying in the mangled hulk of a burning
auto, dying wracked in pain from cancer as my body
eats itself or dying after being raped repeatedly and
stabbed repeatedly.

Those who viciously murder other human beings are
getting far better than they deserve when they die by
lethal injection.
