Why do the executioners clean the arm with antiseptic since lethal injection? I've never understood why that be neccessary. They're going to anyways, so what's the point?

Answers:    Because there is always the coincidence of a last minute reprieve. Imagine if the needle be put in without cleaning, consequently a DNA test proved the person innocent and the execution be halted. Now there is an innocent being who might contract a serious disease and sue the pants off of the corrections staff. Also, antiseptic technique is standard surrounded by all medical related procedures. Even if a limb or organ is going to be removed, the surgeon doesn't use dirty equipment. It help protect both the "patient" and the medical professional..

I believe the alcohol in the antiseptic causes the blood vessel to rise to the skin's surface, making it easier to insert the needle. So it amounts to convenience and ease of use. As George Carlin said - "You wouldn't want the guy to get to Hell, AND be sick."
