"N" Search of Ecstasy

The questions of the day are:

1) What is this world coming to?
2) How could people be so cold and uncaring?
3) Doesn't common sense say dial 911 if you saw someone lying there bleeding to death?
4) Could you just continue to shop merrily if you saw someone lying on the floor of the store bleeding to death?

Terminally ill inmate will still be executed. Defense attorney says man is ‘on the verge of death’ with lung, brain cancer

The Oklahoma state parole board refused to block the execution of a death row inmate who is dying of cancer. Jimmy Dale Bland is to be executed June 26 for the Nov. 14, 1996, murder of 62-year-old Doyle Windle Rains 11 years ago.

Prior to this murder, Bland spent 20 years of a 60-year sentence in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter and kidnapping charges back in 1975. He had been out of prison for only about a year when he was accused of shooting Rains to death.

Now he is on the verge of death with advanced lung cancer that has spread to his brain and his hip bone. Doctors say even if the 49-year-old man were not executed, he has as little as six months to live. Talk about bad karma!

Some feel that the death sentence should be commuted out of simple decency and mercy for a person who is terminally ill and is going to die anyway. The family of the murder victim feels the exact opposite and who could blame them.

What do you think? Should a terminally ill prisoner have their execution overturned since they are essentially going to die any way?
