Lethal injection is a method of execution used in the United States and several other countries. It involves injecting a condemned prisoner with a set of chemicals designed to cause a swift and painless death. Lethal injection is opposed by groups who argue that painful botched executions constitute cruel and unusual punishment. In many states, obtaining the chemicals required to perform lethal injection has become difficult.
