'''Lethal injection''' is a method of execution used for crimes which warrant [[capital punishment]]. The usual procedure for lethal injection involves strapping a prisoner down to a gurney-style bed. Two sets of intravenous tubes are inserted into each of the prisoners arms. A typical lethal injection will include three drugs:
* [[Sodium Pentothal]] - a sedative that will make you sleepy
* ''Pavulon'' - a paralyzing agent that will stop breathing
* ''Potassium Chloride'' - causes the [[heart]] to stop
Death by lethal injection is not painful as the inmate will go to sleep prior to the [[death]]-inducing drugs are pumped in their veins. Lethal injection is the preferred method for executions in the [[United States]]. It is also used in [[Japan]] and [[Arab]] countries.
