I understand the death penalty is the most severe punishment in the criminal justice system. It serves as a strong deterrent against especially serious crimes, permanently removes offenders from society, and ensures public safety.

However, there are cases where individuals sentenced to death are subsequently diagnosed with serious illnesses, such as terminal cancer, at which point their physical condition has deteriorated significantly.

My question is: in such circumstances, are they still executed?
