When Armin Walser helped invent a sedative more powerful than Valium more than 40 years ago, he thought his team’s concoction was going to make people’s lives easier, not their deaths. Yet decades after the drug entered the market, it has become central to executions and the debate that surrounds capital punishment in the U.S. “I didn’t make it for the purpose,” said Dr. Walser, whose drug, known as midazolam, has been used for sedation during 20 lethal injections nationwide. “I am not a friend of the death penalty or execution.” As a result, the retired chemist has been left to grapple, uncomfortably, with what has come of his team’s innovation. During an interview in Tucson, where Dr. Walser lives and where @caitlin_oh photographed him, he told @ニューヨーク・タイムズ that he hadn’t known about midazolam’s use in executions until a reporter from Oklahoma called him 2 years ago. “I didn’t feel good about it,” Dr. Walser recalled. Then, with resignation, he said, “The doctors can do with it what they want.” Visit the link in our profile to read more about how a common sedative became an execution drug.
