Firing Squad FTW. Shooters should be selected from the citizenry at random just like jury duty. The citizenry should be responsible for executing it's criminals. Not the state.
Not no but HELL no. Are you going to pay for the therapy for the citizens who are now forced to commit murder for the state?

Trusting the government has nothing to do with it. The jury decides whether someone is executed or not. As it should be.

I don't trust the state to be truthful in many, if any, situations.

Nobody would be convicting murder for "the state." How do you not understand this?

Then the citizenry should be more prudent in electing their district attorneys.

DAs are the least of my worries when it comes to this topic.

I'm with you there, but that's more of a societal problem.

Cops are the start of the entire chain of events.

Ah, so you are in favor of slavery and Nazism? Interesting.

I think I understand what you posted but do you think that makes a difference to the average citizen who has to pull the trigger and ending someones life?
I'm all for firing squads but not a squad being pulled from the public like jury duty. It should be willing participants and members of law enforcement.

I guess I trust them more than you do then.

Well I think you should be able to opt out. I posted that later. I also don't think you should be able to volunteer either. I think there is precedent for this in the past. Being part of a society has it's responsibilities. Not all of them are nice. Maybe I take it too far, but the citizenry should have more of a stake in the justice system.

On a related note there is no justifiable reason for the death penalty to exist
Oh , there are LOTS of justifiable reasons.
Here are just a few:
1. Recidivism. When you are dead you cannot murder again. In fact, you can't even drive slow in the passing lane again.
2. Deterrence. Public hangings were designed to teach children what would happen if you committed murder. We need to bring that back.
3. Societal Retribution. Eichmann was no longer a threat to the Jews. And Israel had a policy of no death penalty. But they executed them because it made them feel really good.

And why does the ability to feel pain make one human?
What an AWESOME question!
I'll take a stab at it:
Without the ability to feel pain, one cannot empathize with one's fellow man.
To be without empathy is inhuman.

So if a person is paralyzed from the waist down, the doctors should be able to conduct cruel experiments on his lower extremities since that part of him is no longer human right?

Being paralyzed =/= not able to feel pain.
