Should Condemned Prisoners be Kept Alive Before Execution?

User Poll

Sometimes condemned prisoners waiting on death row to be executed suffer from injury or illness. Some even try suicide. Usually the prison stops this and tries to save them - but why, if they are only going to be executed later anyway? Is it really that important that the state do the killing, not cancer or suicide?
