Survived execution reignites debate over lethal injection

Original: A survived execution exposes the grim science of lethal injection

An execution in the United States went wrong when the inmate survived the lethal injection procedure, drawing renewed attention to the drugs and protocols used in capital punishment. Commentators say the case exposes recurring problems with lethal injection, including difficulties obtaining execution drugs, lack of medical oversight, and a history of botched procedures that have fuelled criticism of the death penalty.

Why now: The rare failure of an execution has put the methods and reliability of lethal injection back under public scrutiny.
