According to a number of other comments, execute basically means to complete a process. So, isn’t the pancake the executed final product? Isn’t the baby?.. 🤔
It means perform a process. Starting, middle, and completion. “Carry out” may be a better way to put it because it typically is used for the act of making a law or order happen, not for some natural act like giving birth. This is why many governments have an executive branch that carries out the laws made by the legislative branch.
It became used for the act of killing a prisoner because it was executing the legal order for them to receive the death penalty. It became used for running a program because the processor executed the “instructions” which is what they called lines of code.
Executing the birthing process, not executing the new human.
Like how you stir batter, not pancakes.
Ok, I’m still trying to understand here…

English is so fucking confusing 🤷
When we say they were executed, we mean the process happened to them.
But they are not executed, they are dead. They were executed, like a ball was kicked to score a goal.
So if the woman has to yeet the baby to execute the birthing process, why is there no goal post?
That is because birth is more like a handoff in US football than kicking a field goal.
Wait wait…
You folks don’t have a kicker? Well how do you start the baby then?
