It has emerged that the largest US pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, recently took steps to prevent its drugs being used in lethal injections.
"We strongly object to the use of any of our products in the lethal injection process for capital punishment," the company said.
It stressed that its products were meant to save the lives of patients.
The move reportedly shuts off the last remaining open market source of drugs used in executions in the US.

Its a joke that these "pro life" republican governors, are the ones pushing for death penalty. A real christian wouldn't sign a death warrant. Like when Jeb Bush claimed he had a "pro life" administration as Florida's governor, but executed 22 prisoners.
