What are others thoughts on this? I'll bet it still wasn't nearly as bad as being raped, sodomized, and having your throat cut (while pregnant). I think they should use this on all of them!

An Ohio man who raped and stabbed to death a pregnant woman became the first person executed with a previously untested two-drug cocktail on Thursday, and witnesses reported he gasped for air for up to 15 minutes.
Dennis McGuire — whose argument that the new protocol could cause terrifying and agonizing air starvation were rejected by a federal judge earlier in the week — was pronounced dead at 10:53 a.m.
An Associated Press reporter who witnessed the execution wrote that McGuire, 53, appeared to gasp several times and made several loud snorting or snoring sounds during a "prolonged" execution.
His stomach rose and fell several times as he repeatedly opened and shut his mouth. His adult children sobbing from a few feet away as they watched, the AP reported.

McGuire was convicted of raping, sodomizing and slashing the throat of 22-year-old acquaintance Joy Stewart, who was eight months pregnant at the time of her murder in 1989.
