> An ambulance was seen arriving at the prison where Pike was to be executed and then leaving. Medical aid was being administered, according to online federal court records.

So they tried to kill her and then provided medical aid? What the fuck are we doing as a country. Goddamn.

They can’t even figure out if they want the inmate to be dead or alive. Incompetence has no limit.

I believe it is the same in the case of unsuccessful abortions, in the US at least. Sometimes they result in a birth, presumably of a heavily injured and premature baby, who is then entitled to emergency medical care. Some of these people survive long term. One example is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianna_Jessen

That was the most "WTF?" in the article. No one working there thought about the nonsensicalness of calling for medical aid for someone who was supposed to be killed?
