If you google it you'll find that historical evidence points to the guillotine in fact being a terribly faulty method of execution, often requiring 2 or 3 goes to off someone.PsychoticForesight said:
I have to admit this isn't my area of expertise. I prefer slow deaths like starvation, or weighed down in a bathtub full of gasoline. A humane death is defined by lack of foreknowledge, pain, or awareness of the passing.
Eaten by starving, rabid raccoon? Wait, no.. umm.
Dropped off a sky-scraper into a wood chipper? DAMMIT. I can do this!
OH, I KNOW! Disconnected from the Matrix while jacked in. That's humane, right?
.. right?
Oh fuck it, I've heard leaving a car running in the garage with the door down and the windows sealed is painless, if unjust.
I guess by its own definition a humane death is still tragic.

only if they don't screw it up, which apparently happens rather often...Demented Teddy said:
as for a firing squad, it might not hurt physically, but it'd be pretty damn freaky...
Autopsies done on convicts have shown that the paralyzing agent only makes it appear that they are unconscious but they are actually awake while the potassium chloride (my chemistry is bad so I could be wrong) shuts down their organs and they suffocate.Demented Teddy said:
I'd say the most humane form of execution, for both the executioners and the subject, is that of the firing squad. Traditionally, one of the rifles is loaded with a full-powdered blank and handed to the members of the squad at random. This means that the members of the squad do not, in fact, know who fired the killing shots. Of course, late 18th - early 19th century firing squads did not always kill their victims with the first volly, musket accuracy being what it is, neccissitating that the supervising commissioned officer finish the deed personally with a point-blank pistol shot. That being said, the likelyhood of surviving a volly fired from modern longarms is absurdly slim at best. Even should the target survive the initial injuries, shock would most likely set in and finish them off.
Those are my thoughts on the matter.
Hmm... I note that firing squad seems to be one of the more popular suggestions...

I think bullet to the head is the most humane, but given that the bastard being executed did something very bad to get where he is, why does it need to be humane? I say a slow, painful death involving a spork should be the norm, and for serial rapist cannibals, we make them listen to the Jonas Brothers, Hanna Montana, and Justin Bieber all at the same time.
Getting a bomb inplanted in my brain without me knowing.woudnt feel a thing and if the operation fails its painless to.
But the guilotine is one of the worst i think.Seeing you have to hear them say youre crimes and you know the second he stops talking you hear a swoosh,feel something,and possibly still have youre head alive.And the fact you have to walk to it.And if the guillotine is badly maintained well....ouchies,LOTS of em'.
