    It sounds pretty freakin cruel to me but I’ll just post this quote and link:

    “The physician concluded based on his observations that a severed head could retain consciousness for 25 to 30 seconds.”

      I’d assume with the spine severed like that you wouldn’t feel much pain.

      Plus with lethal injection it’s common for it to take hours. Just sitting their slowly drowning as your lungs fill with fluid. I’ll take the 25 to 30 seconds
