If governments are always looking for more humane methods of execution, why are heroin and other opiates never used, since they are supposedly the most blissful way to pass?

It’s wrong to assume that people universally want to make execution less painful.
Countless good people die every year and many of them die painful deaths.
It’s hard to garner much sympathy for the more extreme criminals. Many believe a painless death is more mercy than they deserve.
It’s easy to come to a “nice” stance on a philosophical issue when it’s just abstract hypothetical. It’s quite different if the victim is you or someone you love. Especially since the crime is often so heinous that it’s hard imagine anyone but a monster being able to commit it
