Regardless your position on the death penalty, this question is for places where it is currently a legal option, and in instances where it would be imposed. This question is also relevant to opponents of the death penalty in a, "If we have and are going to use it anyway..." type of way.
Should a person sentenced to death be allowed to choose the manner in which they are put to death?
Electric chair, hanging, lethal injection, firing squad, whatever.
Note: This thread is NOT about whether or not we should have a death penalty. There are many other threads already addressing that. This thread is also NOT whether the death penalty is an effective deterrent, or not. There are plenty of other threads for that, as well.
