Inert gas asphyxiation seems, to me, like the ideal option for capital punishment. Probably nitrogen gas. It requires no medical training to administer, is commonly available, causes loss of consciousness and death quickly, and does not cause unduly distressing physiological symptoms.
- happytoexplain 7y agoI often wonder what is causing us to have such a hard time killing people without pain or distress or the perception of cruelty (as much as that's possible when killing a person). Why aren't prisoners put to sleep with gas and then killed as cheaply (and non-gruesomely) as possible thereafter?
