Doctors and lethal injection in California

Doctors are objecting to their role in an execution in California. I'm glad to see it, though their objections could be stronger. Not that I object to the death penalty as such, but I want a bright line between the roles of healer and executioner. Let a doctor verify the death, but don't have a doctor give the injection, or release the trap, or pull the trigger.
