A-delta excitation is the most civilized and non-barbaric form of execution

Hi:

I would like to add this topic on execution. I think a-delta
excitation is the most civilized form of execution.

A-delta nerve endings in executionee's stomach are stimulated by a
large number of extremely low-voltage nanobots [around the same
voltage used by neurons and receptors themselves --thereby preventing
any electroporation, increase in temperature, irritation,
inflammation, or immune response] ; this process does not cause any
actual direct injury. The nanoelectrodes are of the exact correct size
and shape to "fit" the a-delta nerve endings present inside the
stomach. The amount [number per area] and intensity [extent of
depolarization] of a-delta excitation is just small enough there is no
amount of damage/injury to those nerves or any sensory overload at
all. The death results from the neurocirculatory effects of
excruciating sharp gastric pain. Death can ensue in less than 10
seconds due to neurogenic shock caused by the sharp pain. There is no
actual mechanical injury to the body -- at all -- but the pain itself
does the execution by dangerously-altering the signals of the
circulatory nervous system.

No mechanical injury, no bleeding, no burning, no dehydration, no
infection. Just A-delta induced shock.

A-delta induced shock results in the following:

1. Force of the heart muscles' contractions decrease significantly [no
pulse/heartbeat can be felt; EKG needed to detect heartbeat]
2. Heart rate decreases dramatically [heart rate drops to around 20
beats per minute in approximately 5 seconds]
3. General increase in the heart muscles' relaxability
4. Blood vessels throughout the body widen to total dilation

The above 4 alone are lethal due to the extent at which they occur --
causing a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Put together, the
resulting hypotension means certain death. Vital organs are deprived
of blood leading to multiple-organ-failure. This can rapidly kill the
individual.

NOTE: While this a-delta stimulation may seem inhumane, it really
isn't, because the executionee will pass out in around 3 seconds due
to extreme hypotension. Therefore the perception of pain doesn't last
long enough to cause the executionee any suffering. In addition,
massive a-delta excitation causes the brain to release lots of
endorphins -- this is why seriously-injured individuals enter a state
where they are numb to pain and seem relaxed.

A-delta-fiber nociception far more likely to cause shock than C-fiber
nociception of the same intensity because A-delta nociception results
in sharp "pulling, "stabbing" or "cracking" pain [such as an injury to
the periosteum of the sternum] whereas C-fiber nociception results in
a more dull, irritating, itching/aching sort of pain [such as a
mosquito bite].

C-fiber nociception rarely -- if ever -- causes shock.

The sensation induced by A-delta fiber stimulation would have a much
greater affect on neurocirculatory reflexes than that of C-fiber
stimulation of the same amount and intensity.

Quotes from the above site:

"An A-delta fiber responds to either mechanical stimuli or temperature
stimuli in the painful realm and produces the acute sensation of
sharp, bright pain."

"By contrast, a C fiber can respond to a broad range of painful
stimuli, including mechanical, thermal or metabolic factors. The pain
produced is slow, burning, and long lasting."

Any questions/comments are welcome
