Isn’t it an oxymoron? Keep them alive so we can kill them? I hold Tennessee's governor responsible. The state waited 30 years to execute one convicted murderer and is now delaying the executions of other people on death row. This is deeply misguided. Pike should be removed from all life-sustaining treatment. Executions do not always proceed as intended; however, execution is the prescribed penalty. I do not want to hear the American Medical Association’s motto about doing everything possible to sustain life when fetuses are surgically removed every day. That position is hypocritical. When a governor accepts the office, the public expects him to fulfill all of his responsibilities.
