why get fancy. I vote for bullet to the head. Effective, and inexpensive.

Sounds fine. I’ve heard it’s not like suffocating at all.

NASA Ames lost a technician who was testing a mask that was supposed to be hooked up to air instead of pure nitrogen. It was so quick he didn’t even have time to remove the mask.

I knew someone who offed himself with helium.
Put the mask on, went to sleep and never woke up.

The gummint’s been confiscating fentanyl; just use some of that and let him fly into eternity.

Fine. Put a plastic bag over their head. Secure it with a zip tie. Introduce nitrogen till dead. No special room. No special chair. Just be done with it.
And carry the sentence out immediately.
Humane. More humane treatment than their victims got.
Cheap.
Quick.

I’m for the most painless death possible.
I mean, they are about to face the Ultimate Judge, nothing we could do could compare to that.

The theory behind the execution method is that changing the composition of the air to 100% nitrogen would cause the inmate to pass out and then die from lack of oxygen. This is a strange and confusing "theory" to the AP.

This sounds too painless. He should be made to experience at least a small portion of the terror and pain of his victim(s) before they died.

You’ll feel a little dizzy, pass out after about 2 1/2 minutes, cardiac arrest 2-3 minutes afterwards. About as painless as you can get.

I’ve always wondered why this is so complicated.
Car exhaust in a closed room. Done.
Charcoal fire in a closed room. Done.
Among the other things.

The theory behind the execution method is that changing the composition of the air to 100% nitrogen would cause the inmate to pass out and then die from lack of oxygen. … It isn't a theory. It is fact. Not only the incident you mentioned, but farming accidents where the victim inhales too high of a concentration of nitrogen. Manure pits, spreading NH4 when the wind is blowing the wrong way and other occupational dangers of agriculture involving nitrogen abound.

I actually hope I have an option like that when the time comes - watching friends and family suffer for those final 3-4 weeks with cancer eating them away from the inside out is enough to want me to make sure that is not my fate.
To: Olog-hai
There are some crimes so hideous, the killers need execution in the same manner to be a real punishment…
