Why is a paralyzing agent used in lethal injection?

Question

So I can understand a drug to knock a person out and then a drug to kill them, but then why a drug in-between to also paralyze them?

Answer 1

The paralyzing drug exists to trick the audience into thinking there is no suffering.

The real progression is supposed to be saline to clear the arteries, a sleep agent, then a paralytic.

It doesn’t work. It’s why the US is reactivating the gas chamber, firing squad, and electric chair. Because none of the drug combinations work and these other methods are “less cruel.”
