Pfizer blocks use of its drugs in executions; no more open-market sources remain

Welp, now what?
Electric chair?

The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced on Friday that it has imposed sweeping controls on the distribution of its products to ensure that none are used in lethal injections, a step that closes off the last remaining open-market source of drugs used in executions.
More than 20 American and European drug companies have already adopted such restrictions, citing either moral or business reasons. Nonetheless, the decision from one of the world's leading pharmaceutical manufacturers is seen as a milestone.
"With Pfizer's announcement, all F.D.A.-approved manufacturers of any potential execution drug have now blocked their sale for this purpose," said Maya Foa, who tracks drug companies for Reprieve, a London-based human rights advocacy group. "Executing states must now go underground if they want to get hold of medicines for use in lethal injection."

Hanging, guillotine, firing squad, and The View-induced suicide. Any realistic alternatives?

Just pump some CO in the room and let the person calmly go to sleep and die.
Or lower the O2 level so the person would become euphoric and then die.
These two methods are humane and cheap and will do the trick better than anything else.

I personally think we should bring back boiling in oil.
It always struck me that King Henry VIII missed out on a perfect comedy opportunity. He should have had his second wife Anne executed like that.
That way he could've walked by her casually as she was being killed And remarked, "Oh look. it's Anne...
Boilin'"

Why is this not realistic? It's still used.

That's the end of the death penalty. Every other method will be found to be cruel and unusual punishment.
