Sawing



         


This article describes the method of execution. Sawing is also a method of manufacturing.


Sawing was an execution method.

The condemned was hung upside down and then sawed apart down the middle, starting at the crotch. Since the condemned was hanging upside-down, the brain received an increased flow of blood, and the person would remain alive and conscious until the saw severed the aorta, or sometimes even longer.
