HAZARDS OF NITROGEN ASPHYXIATION

Every year people are killed by breathing “air” that contains too little oxygen. Because 78 percent of the air we breathe is nitrogen gas, many people assume that nitrogen is not harmful. However, nitrogen is safe to breathe only when mixed with the appropriate amount of oxygen.
These two gases cannot be detected by the sense of smell. A nitrogen enriched environment, which depletes oxygen, can be detected only with special instruments. If the concentration of nitrogen is too high (and oxygen too low), the body becomes oxygen deprived and asphyxiation occurs....
Breathing an oxygen deficient atmosphere can have serious and immediate effects, including unconsciousness after only one or two breaths. The exposed person has no warning and cannot sense that the oxygen level is too low....

I doubt that.
If it were true, nobody would be able to hold their breath for more than ten seconds.
About freaking time. I have been advocating this for years. Put them in an air tight cell, replace air with inert gas. If they choose to donate organs, then they are still viable. This whole procedure would be safer for the prison, and more human way to rid ourselves of the evil parasites.
Next, liquid nitrogen and a hammer to break the frozen body into dozens of pieces.
Um... HELLO??? it's a PUNISHMENT!
As I recall some inspectors died quickly while inspecting the hold of a ship full of scrap steel. The steel had removed all the oxygen (via rust) in the air tight hold. The inspectors never knew what hit them.
Oh, from Wikipedia regarding animal euthinasia:
In 2013, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) issued new guidelines for carbon dioxide induction, stating that a flow rate of 10% to 30% volume/min is optimal for the humane euthanization of small rodents.[10]
Carbon monoxide is often used, but some states in the US have banned its use in animal shelters: although carbon monoxide poisoning is not particularly painful, the conditions in the gas chamber are often not humane.[11] Nitrogen has been shown to be effective, although some young animals are rather resistant[12] and it currently is not widely used.
***A botched lethal injection in Oklahoma last April caused an inmate’s vein to rupture, which prevented the three-drug cocktail from taking full effect.***
BOTCHED? The murderer died didn’t he! He ONLY kidnapped a woman, shot her, and buried her alive!
Bring back the rope! It has worked for thousands of years!
Thus all the community would take part in the death of the guilty, impressing upon them the gravity of the offence with its communal effects and accountability, and the nature of its penalty in this life, as well as take part in the satisfaction of justice. But which also has a deterrent effect against false testimony, more so than antiseptic execution by the state.
Why not START with this!!
Or, better yet; NO2 first.
Then, after a euphoric feeling has taken place; the O2 part can be lessened until only pure N is used.
DUH!
'Financial analysts' could say this about ANYTHING!!!
