See
here (note my comment on why lethal injection is used) and
here for details/analysis. Killing people can be hard, you know? Seriously, it suggests the importance of openness (an issue now with source of drugs etc.) and
careful procedure to safeguard and protect public assurance (however misplaced) that governmental action is done in an acceptable way.

Is there an acceptable way to kill people? I realize that Oklahoma's is unacceptable.
I don't think execution as in the death penalty in the criminal justice system is acceptable but when you speak of "killing people," that's pretty broad. There are cases of justifiable homicide.
It may be pretty broad but that's what it is: killing people. Whatever happened to vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord?
"Vengeance" is a certain type of killing. If someone attacks you and you kill them to protect yourself and your family, that isn't quite "vengeance." That sort of thing is pretty indirect though when execution is involved today.
