I also doubt that they’ll consider a test that could potentially kill them completely, but the State does have authority to do such a test. If you’ve read law, you know that the State can put a person on a 48-hour suicide watch. If you’ve watched Law & Order or been exposed to a lot of TV, you’ve probably seen this in action.

I could see this being a really valid form of punishment, if someone had actually tried to commit suicide and was convicted of it. But I highly doubt the person would be put on such a watch.I’ve never been in the situation of having to consider the decisions of the state, so I can’t speak from personal experience.
