Pharmacists: Stop participating in executions

All major pharmaceutical companies in the US and Europe have now banned their drugs from being used in executions. States intent on killing prisoners have been forced to turn to so-called ‘compounding pharmacists’ -- who are not regulated by the FDA -- to create their own deadly cocktails that will, however painfully or slowly, cause the death of the recipient. If the American Pharmacists Association would ban their members from participating in executions—as all other major medical associations have already done-- the Association could help end the death penalty in the US once and for all.
