QUÉ SIGNIFICA THE ELECTRIC CHAIR EN INGLÉS

Silla eléctrica

Electric chair

La ejecución por electrocución, generalmente realizada con una silla eléctrica, es un método de ejecución originado en los Estados Unidos en el que el condenado está atado a una silla de madera especialmente construida y electrocutado a través de electrodos colocados en la cabeza y la pierna. Este método de ejecución fue creado por los empleados de Thomas Edison durante la guerra de corrientes, y se ha utilizado solamente en los Estados Unidos y, por un período de varias décadas, en las Filipinas. Históricamente, una vez que el condenado fue atado a la silla, varios ciclos de corriente alterna se pasaron a través del cuerpo del individuo, con el fin de causar daño mortal a los órganos internos. La primera sacudida más potente de la corriente eléctrica fue diseñada para pasar a través de la cabeza y causar la inconsciencia inmediata y la muerte de cerebro. La segunda sacudida menos potente fue diseñada para causar daño mortal a los órganos vitales. La muerte también puede ser causada por una sobreestimulación eléctrica del corazón. Aunque la silla eléctrica se ha convertido en un símbolo de la pena de muerte en los Estados Unidos, su uso está en declive debido al aumento de la inyección letal, que se cree ampliamente que es un método más humano de ejecución.

Execution by electrocution, usually performed using an electric chair, is an execution method originating in the United States in which the condemned person is strapped to a specially built wooden chair and electrocuted through electrodes placed on the head and leg. This execution method was created by employees of Thomas Edison during the War of Currents, and has been used only in the United States and, for a period of several decades, in the Philippines. Historically, once the condemned person was attached to the chair, various cycles of alternating current would be passed through the individual's body, in order to cause fatal damage to the internal organs. The first more powerful jolt of electric current was designed to pass through the head and cause immediate unconsciousness and brain death. The second less powerful jolt was designed to cause fatal damage to the vital organs. Death may also be caused by electrical overstimulation of the heart. Although the electric chair has become a symbol of the death penalty in the United States, its use is in decline due to the rise of lethal injection, which is widely believed to be a more humane method of execution.
