Joseph Guillotin

I disagree with the death penalty, but if you insist, I shall try to create a painless method.

I'm so disgusted. I have no way of knowing since I won't live that long, but the guillotine was used by the Nazis to kill over 16000 people

The guillotine has been named the "national razor"

In the 1790s, small guillotines were made for children's toys, or as novelty table ornaments for rich families.

At least I've done some good. Now everyone will get the same treatment in death. Not slow and painful for the poor, but swift for all

[Joseph Guillotin @RealMrGuilotine]

Hope my family tries to change the guillotines name. Can't stand being associated with it!

@RealMrGuilotine
I thought that a humane form of death could lead to an end of the death penalty

[Joseph Guillotin @RealMrGuilotine]

People say I created the guillotine because I support executions, but really it was because I was against them.

The beheading by guillotine takes only 2/100 of a second. That is why it is such a painless experience

I'm sorry the guillotine became used this way. Still I'm glad I invented it. Far better than some of the other forms of death

[Joseph Guillotin @RealMrGuilotine]

People used to be executed cruelty. I don't like executions but I had hoped that a more humane death would lead to an end of executions

[Joseph Guillotin @RealMrGuilotine]

Since most of you don't seem to understand, I'll explain a bit about the Guillotine. I wanted a humane death to be available to everyone.
