Which is the most humane death penalty available at the moment?

Hello:
You are invited to participate in a survey about capital punishment to help me with my dissertation about capital punishment in Oklahoma, USA. In this survey you will be asked questions about your position on capital punishment and which method is the most humane manner. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for me to learn your opinions so I am able to compare the common view from people to the professional opinion found in literature.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Kate Gasper by email at the email address specified below.

If you said yes to the previous question please elaborate which crimes would justify capital punishment.

Please rate the following death penalty methods. If possible select the most humane method. You can only select one box for each method. However, more than one method can be selected inhumane, humane or most humane. Humane in this context means whether the method in question is painless, fast as well as whether the convict is unconscious or not.
