He or she could be given a time to think about it and I firmly believe that someone faced with 30 odd years would often rather have it ended quickly.
Nobody could say they were executed by mistake, seems a good idea to me although we know it will never happen.

..one thing with that though is that there are sometimes cases where people have confessed to crimes they didn't commit because of their mental state...there was one quite recently in America I believe, he wasn't executed but spent most of his life in prison when he was indeed innocent but confessed because of his mental health at the time....
