[01/02] Some manufacturers of medical equipment are trying to impose conditions on how the purchaser uses it — "use for execution prohibited."
https://theintercept.com/2023/09/14/lethal-injection-medical-equipment/ They are trying to propagate this to indirect purchasers too. I oppose the death penalty. However, these manufacturers are claiming the outrageous general power to control those who buy their products. Use that power to ban use for execution, they could use it to ban anything else too.
