Don't die on us now, old man...

We wouldn't want to have got the electric chair all warmed up for nuthin'!

"Allen has gone blind and deaf and uses a wheelchair. His heart stopped in September, but doctors revived him and returned him to death row."

So, let me get this straight. The man was not allowed to die of natural causes, but rather artificially preserved so that the state could execute him a short time later.

The idea behind capital punishment is for him to be dead. The state had what they wanted. Why mess with it?

And what was the old man thinking? Imagine this - you're 76 year old murderer with a bad ticker, in a wheelchair, blind, deaf, confined to a cell, and scheduled to be killed in a few months. Do you really have a whole lot to live for at that point? I think the only thing you have left to do, is die on your own terms. I have 3 letters for you, Mr. Allen: DNR!
