What I don't get, however, is why they bother to sterilize the patch on the guy's arms where they're going to inject the lethal mix? Do they intend to use the hypodermic again? 'Cause if that's not the case, then doing this is utterly pointless.

for use in anatomical studies perhaps ....

I think it has more to do with the education of the Doctors. Through their training doctors are taught, never to inject a human body without following certain precautions, sterlizing the patch is one of them.

It's hard to unlearn what you have learnt during your training for a profession. I do not think doctors are trained for executing criminals.

"mommy, when did the world get colour?"
