Opponents say there's no way to know whether the method is painless and effective.
When Democrats and liberals start caring about the millions of unborn humans they eagerly abort, I’ll start caring about whether some death row convict feels pain or not when his life is snuffed out.
Politics + foolproof. What could go wrong? Say accidentally plug and into the gas line. Boom!!
I think they should check the light bulbs in the chamber and make sure they’re CFLs. We can’t go harming the environment now can we?
Put a tarp on the floor at sentencing. Appointed person pulls out gun and shoots perp three times in the head on the tarp. Dispose as necessary.
The effects of hypoxia on the body are well researched and have been for 80 years. Tell these anti death penalty jerks that the only humane way to kill people is to blow them up. Instantaneous, painless, foolproof.... i am being sarcastic, but for a reason These people would be against the death penalty no matter what the method. They just use opposition to the method as cover for their opposition to the death penalty itself.

“...giving Oklahoma four different ways to enact its death penalty.”
1. Lethal Injection
2. Nitrogen
3. Electric chair
4. Firing squad
Just take them to a garage and start a car. Give em’ five pints of ripple and a blunt.
It’s certainly effective. There is a ton of medical evidence showing that hypoxia is painless. Huge bonus: no toxic hazard to worry about.
I guess those opponents are unaware of the hypoxia training that people training for flight operations undergo. They are placed in a hypoxia chamber, and the oxygen is removed to simulate high altitude.
I just asked my husband about his hypoxia training. He said that when the oxygen was removed, he actually felt pretty good. He went into a euphoric state, until he almost lost consciousness, at which point the oxygen was restored.
So I doubt that much suffering will go on with this type of execution.
The challenge is to make sure the murderer is fully dead. They should probably should leave the body in the chamber without oxygen for a prolonged period, like an hour or so.
Never quite understood the enormous difficulty we seem to have in killing people painlessly. Seem to put animals to sleep without much problem. Maybe they should hire vets to execute criminals?
Or why not give them a truly massive heroin overdose? Use some of those confiscated drugs? They’d probably die with a big smile on their face.
Just drop the criminal into a vat of lye, when the screaming stops and everything is dissolve, then flush him into the sewer and let the sewage disposal plant take care of the waste.
They put me under when I had my shoulder surgery. It was like time travel. In mid breath I was suddenly waking up in a room hours later.
I understand the reason the anesthesiologist is so well paid is because he keeps you close to death without you actually dying.
So, how about states just hire really bad anesthesiologists to do the same thing but that go ahead and tip you over the edge?
Talk about painless.
Except for the “bad anesthesiologist” part, I’m dead serious.
“Opponents say there’s no way to know whether the method is painless and effective.”
Not too hard to figure out whether it’s “effective”. Painless...who cares?
But the bigger question is where will they get the nitrogen? It’s not like they can pull it out of the air.
Nobody ever walked away from Ole Sparky...just turn it up to 11.
Why don’t they just starve them to death? They say it is euphoric like when they did this to Terry Schiovo.
Another way would be to do it like they do abortions. Punch a hole in their head and suck the brains out! Libs say these are acceptable ways for them.
Plastic Bag over their head , OH WAIT , plastic bags are banned ,LOL
If they pipe in some Nitrous Oxide, then the the prisoner can be happy for the rest of his life..........It's death, don't be sad, be happy let's party! Personally I say shoot the bastards.
Personally I am a fan of public hangings.
***in the wake of the embarrassingly botched lethal injections.***
Bunk. The murderer who shot a woman and then buried her alive died a good death, and had time to contemplate on his general stupidity before expiring.
Bring back the rope! It has worked for thousands of years.
