Do you think it is weird that people getting a lethal injection to end their life on death row be swabbed with alcohol before the shot is injected? What is the purpose?

Aside from the laughable idea of preventing infections, alcohol cool the skin and causes the veins to dilate, making getting a needle into them much easier.

So, it looks good from a standup comic, but there is a fairly decent reason;)

I never knew about the alcohol cooling the skin for better injection.

Hi happy

You know, you have a very valid question there! I agree, what is the purpose of swabbing the area with alcohol before the shot is injected? From what I understand, they swab the area to avoid infection. This person is being killed. Who cares if he gets an infection? w00t

Very valid point. Thank you!

Have a nice day,
Char
happy
