As to the euthanasia

In regards to my previous post, if you weren't able to tell, I was basically being a smart ass. I fully believe in the death penalty and that Allen was in fact punished for what he had done. However if his lawyers really do want to complain about the fact that he was an old man when he was executed, then why not give them a reason that it really wasn't so cruel and unusual???
Anyways, thank you all for your comments on it. Somehow with this blog I've moved up in the ecosystem to a wiggly worm. Not sure if thats better than being a microscopic multicellular organism though.
