-While true, it would presumably be even better to not be executed in the first place - whether the execution takes place in Saudi Arabia, the US or any of the handful of countries still having the death penalty on its books.

There are worst things than death, and everyone should consider what the alternative here is. I am absolutely against execution, but I also have zero agency over what Saudi Arabia is going to do to its prisoners, and when I consider the alternative, this is to me the preferable outcome.

I guess it depends on the conditions in the jail. Death could be merciful if the conditions are too bad.

I think most execution methods are worse... Some might be better, but generally they are not used...

Multiple cuts would be horrific.
