Science makes possible that which previously was not possible - like killing a baby before it's officially born without significantly damaging the mother instead of killing the same baby after it's born and completely separated from the other. It didn't used to be that way, but now it is. The question is what to do or refrain from doing with what is now possible. Since left-wing types see no ethical problem with premature infanticide when it's financially or socially convenient, I fail to see any credibility in objections of drugs being used to subdue prisoners when they come from such people. If you want the good-old humane treatments used, first start objecting to the use of modern technology to get away with monstrosities not possible in the bad-old days. As for prisoners in Gitmo, have a hearing to classify them as not-covered by the Geneva Conventions (easy to do with terrorists) and do whatever is beneficial for us to them until they're dead - there are limits, you know.
