In fact, the Mystery of Holy Anointing in the East is not a "last rites" at all - it is a Mystery intended to heal, as has been pointed out.

The reception of Holy Confession and Holy Communion is how a soul prepares for eternity in the East - so a person about to be executed could (and indeed should) receive these Holy Mysteries.

Enough said smile
