Alabama is set to execute Carey Dale Grayson using nitrogen gas, despite past incidents where executions caused noticeable distress, raising major ethical concerns.
The first nitrogen execution in January saw Kenneth Smith writhe and convulse for several minutes, contradicting Alabama's claim that it is the most humane method.
Witnesses reported that Alan Miller, executed in September, experienced shaking and gasping during his execution, reinforcing criticisms about the use of nitrogen.
Matt Wells from Reprieve US stated, 'When states use human beings as guinea pigs for lethal experiments, they are bound to suffer, whether at the point of a needle or behind a mask.'
