It's a good day to die

"At no point are we not going to value the sanctity of life," said prison spokesman Vernell Crittendon. "We would resuscitate him," then execute him.
California's oldest condemned inmate, Clarence Ray Allen, was executed a day after his 76th birthday last week. Allen, who suffered a heart attack in September 05, had requested prison authorities let him die if he went into cardiac arrest before his execution, but his request was denied.

Doctors had to administer two shots of potassium chloride to carry out the execution.
