    i don’t think it’s “rightly”
    although execution is barbaric and should be outlawed; if you can’t stop it, making it more humane is still moral.

        I agree with you. Imagine a country starts rounding up and murdering some ethnic/religious minority. Doctors shouldn’t be like “ahh we must help the government kill them in the most humane way possible!” If anything that’s enabling it.
