The same anesthetic that caused the overdose death of pop star Michael Jackson is now the drug of choice for executions in Missouri, causing a stir among critics who question how the state can guarantee a drug untested for lethal injection won't cause pain and suffering for the condemned.

Last week the Missouri Department of Corrections announced it was switching from its longstanding three-drug method to use of a single drug, propofol. Missouri would be the first state ever to use propofol as an execution drug.

All they have to do is give the inmate an injection to put him to sleep before giving the overdose of propofol.

It's a standard procedure before the anesthesia is administered in an operation. I'm sure it'd work just as well in the case of lethal injection.

Propofol is an extremely strong anesthesia.I do not know why Michael Jackson's doctor administered it without an anesthesiologist or a cardiologist with him.

How do they test it without using it?
