Speaking personally, the terror-fueled adrenaline dump that would have ensued after I read that very first “Do not answer” would have reduced me to an insensate lump.

It was reptilian, insensate, Coleridge’s monster of “motiveless malignity.”

In the highest-profile case, four Oklahoma prisoners contended that using midazolam constituted cruel and unusual punishment because it “fails to render a person insensate to pain.”

“But if midazolam is not capable of maintaining that insensate state, we may well be producing the same feeling in the person being executed.”

Supreme Court, have maintained that the use of midazolam as the first in a three-drug protocol is likely to render an inmate insensate to pain.
