I read your title and got the terms anesthetize and euthanize confused for a second. As you might imagine, I was initially horrified.

I’m not an anesthesiologist, but I suspect it’s because it would add significant risk and expense to an already criminally expensive process for only a temporary delay in the suffering the procedure causes.
