Reba, I believe you had mentioned that you were in the military . . . what would happen if SH was injected with air in his blood stream instead of the lethal injection? Another thought . . . what about slowly draining his blood daily, say, a syringe's worth of blood on a daily basis? I would go along with this.
SH was hanged in accordance with the laws of his country.

For carrying out the death penalty in the USA, the methods used are not allowed to be "cruel and unusual" so I don't think your suggestion will fly.
