It is actually illegal in someplaces to boil them alive.
The more humane way to cook them is by first freezeng them that way they don't suffer.
There are studies demonstrating that lobsters feel pain and also suffer.
Let's be responsable! if we kill to eat, the least we can do is provide a decent death to the animals. We owe them that.

Is there a difference between steaming and boiling a live lobster?
No, there is no difference in the process used. However, it isn't advisable to cook dead lobster unless you killed it immediately before putting it in the pot. Whole lobster spoil quickly which is why they are stored alive before cooking. As for whether it's humane to put a lobster in boiling water, their death is just a quick as any other form of death so I believe it's as humane as you will get short of letting the lobster live.

How long do you let loster tails cook?
Like most shellfish, lobster meat is very delicate and cooks fast. I usually steam lobster oppose to broiling because it tends to come out dry, rubbery and overcooked when broiled. Lobster meat should be thawed out before cooking and can be done quickly by soaking in cold water. Only steam lobster for no more than five minutes and that's whole lobster with the shell. If you're cooking only lobster tails then steam for 3-4 minutes. For a great dipping sauce melt butter, add lemon and diced garlic :)

How long has it been dead? When you buy lobster tails, ONLY, in the stores, the reason they are there is the live lobster died before they could properly package it. The tail is the only part that is safe to eat from a "dead" lobster. They have been dead for a VERY short time.

How long after a lobster dies before it is bad to eat?
Forever. Seriously, though, if you are asking about eating a lobster that has died, they start to deteriorate rapidly after death. Unfortunately, there are seafood companies that will sell lobsters (cooked and/or frozen) that died in their tanks - and you have no idea of how long they sat around before being processed. I believe they are called "stills". Lobsters are best if they are live until right before cooking.
