I’ve never understood this. I was put under for surgery and it was amazingly painless. Why not use that very drug, but enough to stop the heart. You’d be completely unaware. One or two deep breaths and you’re out, and you don’t come back.
Or combine methods — get an anesthesiologist to put the patient totally out, then carry them to the guillotine and just end it quick. Or use a bullet. Doesn’t matter. But, as you say, no one is traumatized by methods of sedation — it quick and easy. The important thing is to make sure these patients don’t wake up. That’s not hard.
Nitrogen Asphyxiation
flow 99% nitrogen gas at 1.1 atmospheres via a breathing mask and wait for the brain waves to be flat for 5 min.
Like everything else, Big Pharma has been politicized.
