Execution methods refer to the various techniques used to carry out a death sentence. Historically, these methods have included hanging, firing squad, electrocution, and lethal injection. Each method has its own legal and ethical implications, as well as varying levels of pain and suffering associated with the process. In modern times, lethal injection has become the most common execution method in many countries due to its perceived humaneness. However, debates continue regarding the effectiveness and morality of all execution methods, leading to ongoing discussions about the future of the death penalty and its alternatives.
