Basically, they brought a guy close to deadly hypoxia (lack of O2). Throughout the process they asked him to perform basic tasks to test brain function. Toward the end they asked him to push a button to end the procedure. They told him that not pushing the button would result in his death (don't worry, he doesn't die). The hypoxia basically resulted in his brain not being able to discern his imminent death and he wouldn't push the button.
This was discussed as a means of "civilized" death penalty since the victim didn't realize their fate at the last moments of their life. Arguments against it is that perhaps the victim should know they are going to die.
