Lethal injection can cause severe pain during execution.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lethal injection can cause severe pain during execution?

Unclear. Two peer-reviewed PLoS Medicine items from 2007 bear on the claim: an editorial states lethal injection is far from humane, and a research article describes the three-drug protocol and its intended anesthesia-then-death effect. Neither item documents that severe pain actually occurs during executions, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim.
