More than 10 countries still use the social sadistic game of Death Penalty as punishment. What are the ways to die? Where are they applied? Which are the most painful?
Many countries use the Death Penalty as a social device to inhibit hideous crimes (following the country's parameters of what is hideous). Although no Scientific Study demonstrates any reduction in criminal activities provoked by the presence of the Death Penalty, those countries still use that barbaric ritual. What countries are those, and which are the ways to be cruelly assassinated by the Government?

Fusilladed

A Fusillade Squad is positioned six meters in front of the person sentenced to the Death Penalty. Usually using rifles, the Squad fires all the weapons simultaneously at a standing or sit victim. It is a popular way to die in war crimes. Even countries that doesn't have the Death Penalty institutionalized in their culture, opens exceptions in Wars.
In that case, the victim is shot from multiple directions being wounded in multiple places. The condemned dies from the hemorrhage of various organs or, if the victim is lucky, a bullet reaches the brain, what means in most cases, instantaneous death. Specialists classify this pain and suffering as average. In my opinion, it is very easy to classify pain as average when you were not the one shot multiple times to death.
The places that still use that Capital Punishment are USA, Somalia, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, Guatemala and Vietnam. -
Stoned to Death
The Death Penalty Sentence “stoned to death” is usually applied to criminals that attempted against the honor of women in Muslin countries, and tradition make the male family members of the victim and male members of the local community, the killers of the condemned to death.
The death penalty condemned is wrapped in a sheet and thrown into a hole. The executioners stand around the hole and throw rocks on the condemned. As a ritual designed to be cruel, the death penalty “stoned to death” makes every effort to make the death long and painful. The condemned dies mostly by the rocks that smite his head.
The places with that death penalty are: Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. -
Hanged

In the death penalty “hanged”, the rope is boiled, twisted and lubricated with soap before tied around the condemned's neck. The condemned, with the rope around his neck, wait for the trapdoor under his feet to open and hang his body to death by the neck. When the death is fast, the spine breaks in the moment that the condemned is hanged, along with the medulla, and in that case, the victim dies in less than 60 seconds.
Specialists say that this death penalty is the most human and least painful way to die, if the sadistic ritual of hanging is correctly executed. In cases where the executioners make the rope too long, the condemned might take more than 20 minutes to die (in that case, by choking) and the pain and suffering are maximized.
The places that still have the hanging as a Capital Punishment are: USA, China, Guatemala and Iraq. -
Electric Chair

The condemned to the death penalty “electric chair” is tied to a chair with leather stripes. His body had already been shaved to avoid flaming hair. The executioner binds electrodes wet in a saline solution on the legs and head of the condemned to death, and a metal helmet is placed over the head.
After blindfolding the death penalty condemned, the executioner activates the chair and releases at least two discharges from 500 to 2000 volts. If the condemned survives, the executioner repeats the process until the victim dies.
The victim's suffering is related to the time he takes to die, varying from average to high pain. The only country that uses the Capital Punishment “electric chair” is the USA. -
Decapitation
In the Death Penalty “decapitation”, the victim is placed standing or sit, and the executioner uses a sword to cut his head off. A good executioner can provide a fast and “merciful” death with just one blow. But, if the executioner is not that professional and the victim's vertebrae and muscles are too tight, the executioner may need more blows, what may increase exponentially the suffering.
The death happens when the medulla is cut. In that case, the breathing and heartbeat cease immediately.
The places that still apply the “decapitation” as a death penalty are: Saudi Arabia, China, Guatemala and Iraq. -
Lethal Injection

When the death penalty condemned is tied over a bed, the executioners place two probes in the veins on his arms. One of them has an isotonic solution that will latter be replaced by poison, and the second one is a fail safe, in case of failure of the system. First, a sedative is released in the condemned's veins. When the victim sleeps, curare (a powerful paralyzing toxin) is injected in the victim, and in the end, potassium chloride. After the potassium, the heart stops and the victim dies from 5 to 7 minutes. Specialists guarantee that the pain is minimal and that it is one of the most human means to death penalty.
The places that apply “lethal injection” as a death penalty are: USA, China and Guatemala.
In an overall view, the countries that execute more prisoners through death penalty are: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, USA and Pakistan.

全世界六种死刑的方法
全世界六种死刑的方法
超过十个国家采用虐待性方式作为死罪的刑罚。是哪几种呢？被哪些国家采用？哪种又是最痛苦的呢？
虽然没有科学证明犯罪活动的减少会因死刑的存在而减少，但是很多国家仍然将死刑作为控制重罪的一种社会手段（对于一个国家而言为不稳定的因素）。那么是哪些国家呢？对于暗杀政府官员的罪犯用的又是什么残忍方法呢?
枪决
一组射击小分队站在距死刑犯的6米前，通常用步枪同时对准站着或坐着的人射击。这种方式多用于处决战犯。即使有些国家没有这种处罚制度，在战争中也会使用。
如果那样的话，受刑者将遭受从不同方向的多轮射击而多处流血不止。犯人死于多器官出血。幸运的话，子弹直接击中头部，大多数情况下瞬间死亡。
专家把痛苦归类。在我看来，如果你是一枪毙命，这点是很容做到。沿用枪决的国家和地区有：美国、索马里、台湾、乌兹别克斯坦、危地马拉和越南。
石砸刑
这种刑罚通常是穆斯林国家用于处罚对妇女实施性侵犯未遂的罪犯。按照传统，还殃及罪犯家庭和家族的男性成员。死刑犯身体被包裹在一个纸袋里被扔到一个坑里。行刑者团团围住坑，朝坑理丢石头。这种古老刑罚的残忍，就是要尽量让受刑者痛苦地慢慢死去。犯人通常因石块猛砸头部而死。采用石砸刑的国家有：伊朗、尼日利亚、巴基斯坦和沙特阿拉伯。
绞刑
这种死刑是将水煮过的并用肥皂润滑拉伸过的绳子套在犯人的头颈上。头颈套上绳子的犯人就只等脚下的活板门打开致使身体悬空绞死。绞刑的速度非常快，一执行绞刑，颈椎断裂，从而脊髓破坏。这样的话，受刑者60秒内就死去了
专家说，若果规范行刑，痛苦是最小的。如果行刑者用的绳子太长，受刑者20分钟后才能死去，非常痛苦（这种情况是窒息而死）。沿用绞刑的国家有：美国、中国、危地马拉和伊拉克。
电椅
受刑者净身后被绑在装有金属条的椅子上，防止头发燃烧。行刑者将尽在盐酸溶液中的电极绑在受刑者的脚上，同时在其头部套上金属头盔。蒙上受刑者的眼睛后，行刑者打开电闸，释放500-2000伏特电流。若果能幸存下来，电椅的经历能让他终身后怕。
受刑者的痛苦和死亡的时间紧密联系，分为一般痛苦和极端痛苦。用电椅的国家只有一个：美国。
斩首
执行时，受刑者或站或立，行刑者用刀砍下其头颅。好的行刑者动作非常快，用仁慈的方式一下子结束犯人的生命。但如果行刑者不够专业或者说受刑者的颈椎和肌肉太紧张，行刑者得砍好几刀，大大增加受刑者的痛苦。
脊髓一旦被砍，呼吸和心跳马上停止，人马上就死了。沙特阿拉伯、中国、危地马拉和伊拉克仍然使用斩首。
毒液注射
死刑犯人被绑在床上，行刑者在他手臂静脉里打两针。第一针是与血液浓度相同的盐溶液，之后释放毒素。第二针是为第一针保险，以防万一。首先，静脉麻醉受刑者睡着后注射箭毒马钱子（一种非常厉害的致瘫毒素），最后注射氧化钾。5-7分钟后，受刑者的心脏停止跳动。专家一致认为，这种方法是痛苦最小的，也是最人道的。美国、中国、危地马拉都采用这种方法。
总的看来，世界上较多采用死刑的国家主要有：中国、伊朗、沙特阿拉伯、美国和巴基斯坦。
