10 Capital Punishment—Executions
Get access-
Published:September 2024

Abstract
Abstract: Capital punishment or the death penalty is a government-sanctioned punishment for committing a capital offense and is legal in 24 states, American Samoa, the federal government, and the military. The American Medical Association and the American College of Physicians prohibit practitioner involvement in execution, including determining competence, administering drugs, and monitoring vital signs. The healthcare profession’s principles of beneficence (do good) and nonmaleficence (do no harm) would be violated by participation in an execution, which has no regard for the principle of patient autonomy. A political ideology of retribution should not redefine the healthcare profession’s ideology as a healing art, and practitioners must prioritize patient-centered care to maximize the patient’s best interests regarding healing.
