    What is the most common method of execution?

    Question #43131. Asked by Tadpole Angel. (Jan 08 04 9:04 PM)

    		In the US, lethal injection is most commonly used. It's considered the most humane method. Figure that one out.

    		I'm talking world wide but some interesting info... Hanging is the second most common method practised in 58 countries, Beheading is still practised in 3 countries, and electrocution is only in the USA (I think a few states still do it, I'm not sure though, I'm Australian)

    		China performs by far the most executions in the world - hence I would think it was firing squad...

    		Hamlet is correct, Death by firing squad is right but the question was of the most countries using the method not the most people suffering the fate... Still correct is correct.
