OK - but those are EXAMPLES - and yeah, Old Sparky in FL needs to be fixed.  But in GENERAL, these mehtods are more humane.  The guillotine has proven time after time - in most experiments - that the person doesn't die initially.

Now - if you could prove that it's painless (due to shock/trama/adrenaline) - then I'd be perfectly fine w/ the use of it.
It is. And though these are extreme examples, those 13 seconds do compare favorably with lethal injection. (Lets leave all other methods of exectution besides those two out of the discussion entirely as I dont want to throw up over my keyboard.)

  If I'm terminally ill and in severe pain, I can't off myself... but if I go and murder a child, I'm done for?

I'll keep that in mind if I'm ever terminally ill.
