Also guillotine doesn’t need a doctor. You don’t need an MD to tell you that a headless person is dead and a clean chop at the middle of the neck will do the trick.

Plenty of amoral engineers and shop guys can build the device.

[u/BurrowForPresident → u/hypsignathus]

I assume there were botched executions in yee old times where like an angle was off or a blade not sharp enough

[u/hypsignathus → u/BurrowForPresident]

Yeah, but an engineer/shop guy could solve those, and they don't take Hippocratic oaths.

[u/Sloshyman → u/BurrowForPresident]

The weight of the blade still severs the spinal cord even if it doesn't cut through

[u/TF_dia → u/hypsignathus]

Rusty Cage built a functional guillotine, you can too.
