Glossip vs. Gross

For my research paper I choose Glossip vs Gross. This case was about the morality of the use of Midazolam in executions. Prisoners felt that this drug caused cruel and unusual pain during the executions as it didn't render someone unconscious for enough time for two other drugs to kill them. This left the person susceptible to the pain that the next two drugs caused. These prisoners wanted a change to the protocol in how and what drugs were used. However they failed to present another method that could cause less pain during the execution and ensure that the person remain unconscious. Since these are prisoners I don't think they have the right to not feel any pain because in order to be on death row you had to have caused a lot of pain to someone else. With that said I agree with the Judges decision that the use of the drug did not violate the eighth amendment.
