... forcing him to breathe only nitrogen, depriving them of oxygen and causing them to die Is that what passes for writing these days? Shaking my head.

If they remove all the O2 I imagine it would do the trick.

I believe the theory is that he will go to sleep due to deprivation.
I guess we will find out.

But Helium is quite expensive.
Nitrogen is cheap and nonpolluting.

They could use hydrogen, while giving him his last cigarette.

I like this type of execution. I would seal the death row chambers and not tell the condemned which night would be their last.

Actually what gives your body the impulse to breathe is the carbon dioxide levels in your blood. Nitrogen asphyxiation allows you to exhale, unlike strangulation, so you essentially fall asleep to death.

Thanks for the good explanations.

CO is even worse, of course.

Damn, at first I thought, cool, that they meant LIQUID nitrogen!
I saw Penn & Teller do a morning show gag once.
Penn dipped a rose in the stuff and shattered it on the counter, then dipped Teller’s hand and shattered IT, while Teller mimed screaming.
Then Teller smiled and his hand emerged from his sleeve as the talking head lady tried to regain her composure.

For millennia, they’ve been trying to find the “right way” to execute a convict.
But there is no right way to do the wrong thing.
