  Injection (medicine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medicine—or in the non-medical use of some illegal drugs—an injection is a method of putting liquid into the body with a hollow needle and a syringe which is pierced through the skin long enough for the material to be forced into the body.
An injection follows a parenteral route of administration, that is, its effect is not necessarily local to the area in which the injection is administered; it is systematic.
Subcutaneous injections are relatively painless and highly effective in administering such medications as insulin or goserelin.

Lethal injection was conceived by Dr Stanley Deutschan anaesthesiologist at the University of Oklahoma to simulate a medical procedure: the intravenous induction of general anaesthesia.
Doctors' involvement in lethal injection (or any execution) creates a profound conflict of roles that is morally unacceptable.16 When doctors enter the death chamber, they harm not only their relationship with their own patients but the relationships of all doctors with their patients.
Even without doctors' participation, lethal injection, with its intravenous lines, electrocardiograph monitors, and anaesthetic drugs, has a deeply corrupting influence on medicine as a whole.8 The Nazis used the imagery of medicine to justify killing, and they corrupted doctors and, ultimately, an entire nation.
