Lethal injection antiseptic?!
Question: Lethal injection antiseptic!?
Why do the executioners clean the arm with antiseptic before lethal injection!? I've never understood why that was neccessary!. They're going to anyways, so what's the point!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Because there is always the chance of a last minute reprieve!. Imagine if the needle was put in without cleaning, then a DNA test proved the person innocent and the execution was halted!. Now there is an innocent person who might contract a serious disease and sue the pants off of the corrections staff!. Also, antiseptic technique is standard in all medical related procedures!. Even if a limb or organ is going to be removed, the surgeon doesn't use dirty equipment!. It helps protect both the "patient" and the medical professional!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I believe the alcohol in the antiseptic causes the blood vessels to rise to the skin's surface, making it easier to insert the needle!. So it amounts to convenience and ease of use!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
