Bro at this point, just fucking shoot them…
Or better yet, how about we don’t kill people as a form of legal punishment in any decade officially taking place after the middle ages?
Bro just shoot him if you already do such idiotic things as executions.
Faster, more Reliable, less suffering, Cheap.
That seems like a good idea. If they really want to execute someone, make the official of the state shoot them on video. I’m guessing capital punishment would be almost zero within 10 years, because nobody wants to be seen as a cold-blooded killer, especially when they know that people could review the video.
Nah instead two elections cycles later a candidate will be elected, who will be running ad breaks and monetizing execution videos, all while parading patriotic bullshit.
This is normal in low-oxygen, low-CO2 hypoxia.
The patient is not conscious during these spasms, and feels no pain.
EDIT: Nitrogen hypoxia is an instant and painless death experience, because you pass out almost without conscious awareness, the same as if you go under the gas they have at the dentist while counting down from 10 and never remember getting to 1. The difference is that the body’s death is very slow, as the body’s tissues are deprived of oxygen and slowly run out of gas and stall out. As long as the patient continues to not spike in CO2, they will remain unconscious and unaware through the entire process - as necessary and brutal as it is to - you know - stop a body.
EDIT2: Exercise reasonable doubt when reading the comments below which are calling into question whether the patient ‘gasped for air’ or doubt for some reason that a mask is adequate. 1) The patient held their breath from the nitrogen intake as long as they could. This is the same as you sitting on a dentists chair refusing to inhale the gas. You will quickly suffer the normal heightened discomfort until your brain takes executive control and just makes you to inhale. The patient in this case brought their will right up against that reflex, a miserable experience and one in which I can’t imagine it was a comfortable mental space to be in. Then the inhale reflex kicked in and they nearly instantly lost consciousness. Over the next hour or so their body slowly ceased function, without tripping any of the really scary nervous system alarms. Patient never woke up. 2) A mask is preferred in systems like this because of the inherent safety risk involved for the administers with invisible, body-encompassing volumes of nitrogen. A mask is also totally up to the task, as anyone who’s been put down at the dentist can attest to. These masks also have multiple, multiple added redundancy features which help protect the air seal, as well as post-review-diagnostics. They’re safe. The main concern in this situation is administer training, in the proper handling of the body’s seizures such that the mask isn’t somehow pried off.
Except they said he was gasping for air. Nitrogen hypoxia wouldn’t do that, because you’d still be exchanging CO2 and your body wouldn’t recognize the lack of oxygen in the air.
Because they put a mask on him instead of filling the room with nitrogen.
Bunch of idiots.
AND he held his breath as long as he could to avoid inhaling. Really it should be done in a whole room like you said, and at a random time so as to avoid that stressful “last moment” struggle.
Preferably we don’t execute people at all, no matter how heinous their crimes.

I have never understood this philosophy. Human lives are worth so fucking little. Culling ones that are cancerous to society is the same as treating an infected wound. We are not so divine that we somehow must never be removed. Not killing certain people just results in more innocent people being killed.
Culling ones that are cancerous to society
Holy Holocaust, Batman!
Not killing certain people just results in more innocent people being killed.
literally what does this even mean.
You can’t fathom how killing a serial killer would result in lives saved?
Keeping them in prison and/or psychiatric treatment would have the same effect.
You can’t fathom how giving the state access to lethal means of punishment won’t result in innocent people being killed?
Just going to, uh, leave this here…
Jacob Geller - The False Evolution of Execution Methods (YouTube)
A little documentary on how execution methods have changed over time and how they haven’t necessarily gotten more humane like we’d assume they would.
Nitrogen hypoxia is humane for the person dying (if done right), just maybe not for the spectators. You just lose consciousness and never wake up.
They fucked up by using a mask instead of a chamber.
The whole idea of it, and the process, and the people who scheme to support it… is absolutely ghoulish.
Awww did it make the poor people witnessing someone get killed a little uncomfortable? Ooh noooo how teeerible
This is so needlessly nasty. The people witnessing it included his priest and family members.
