Why based guillotine fell out favor? It is relatively painless

People stayed aware of what was happening around their head for quite some time when they got guillotined.

Everything is barbaric compared to lethal injection.

Can't you just guillotine them in sleep?

What're you on about? With that large a drop in blood pressure you could practically immediately go into unconsciousness and then coma, before dying a very short time afterwards.

Complete bullshit.

Basically because it looks gruesome. Modern American execution methods aren't designed to be painless but to be easy to watch.

Why don't they just shoot them

>mfw I saw one of those mexican cartel executions and the victim's eyes were moving after being decapitated

I thought it was striking how Dostoevsky mentions the guillotine in his work with a kind of revulsion, characterizing it as a kind of brutal emblem for the hollowness & irony of liberal ideals.

Even dead body have some reflexive movements, actually. It isn't like you are literally static from a moment of your death.

Using the guillotine would at least be cheaper.
