Dr. Guillotin did not invent the device that bears his name nor did he die by its use. He proposed its use as the only means of Capital Punishment in France to the public as a whole. Noble and commoner would be treated the same and they would all have a painless death in "the twinkling of an eye" which was the term that he used. He opposed public execution and opposed death as a punishment. What he wanted was the system in current use changed.
