    Surely it could be done with a plastic blade topped by a bit of stone for weight.

    Sure, one might have to pull it back up and let it plunge back down a couple of times to finish the job, but that’s alright.

      The piece of plastic that would work would cost more than the steel. Why not just drop a large rock on their heads. Clearly the guillotine wasn’t gruesome enough to serve as a deterrent. Maybe that will be.
