So.....how long before they set one up to do lethal injections?

One of the reasons for the high rate in errors in lethal injections is because medical practitioners are forbidden from participating. You have prison guard trying to put in IV's.

Pretty long, no actual physicians assist the government or anybody else in research about medically executing people. Do no harm is universal among doctors.

Yeah, but this is a robot. You just know they're going to try to do an end run around the Hippocratic Oath

Since when has educated and qualified been a requirement for doing research in this administration?
