Ohio could begin nitrogen gas executions under bill backed by state’s Republican attorney general

- Since suffering is the whole point of the death penalty, I'm betting mask.
  Or they just straight up use CO2 instead.
  
  I honestly can't understand what is going on over there. Killing people with nitrogen is without question one of the best ways to kill a person. A grow box and a large N² tank are enough. How hard can that be?
  I mean, people died by accident in nitrogen atmospheres while happily eating lunch.
I don’t know why we have to specify, "Experimental."
The state shouldn’t be allowed to decide who dies. Ever.
Thought the thumbnail was a linux/it meme for a moment (I'm german and use arch btw)
- Then why aren't you on iusearchlinux.fyi?
  Edit: Fixed the link
  
  You mean i-use-arch.fyi ? I may or may not use the same username everywhere...
There's so many quick painless ways to go, how come the stake only wants to ok the ones with a good chance at failing or being torturously painful?
The use of nitrogen is nothing more than biological suffocation whilst the person is awake. They will know only that horrible inability to breathe whilst at the same time resorting to panic and anxiety breathing. If you wanted to do execution badly, this is it. (Yes, I understand the mechanisms from gaseous exchange through to the pons medulla reflex)
- Please read for yourself about the process in Switzerland. Come back when you have understanding of what happens there vs the nitrogen mask. Or alternatively provide your medical expertise to counter?
