I think if you can’t find someone with the fortitude to put a hole in the victim’s brain stem at muzzle contact range (let’s ask the people who pushed for this punishment, for example), and you have to go through all this procedure to alleviate “guilty consciences”, maybe the whole idea isn’t so great?

While I agree with the conclusion, making a moral judgment based on a random persons guilty conscience isn’t very reliable.
We should switch to execution by strangling to death by hand. The judge has to conduct the execution.
