idk it is still more humane and less painful than like a firing squad which iirc is still legal

No capital punishment.

No exceptions.

The nitrogen hypoxia execution was a cheap and dangerous botched job. To minimise suffering, you would need a chamber where the oxygen content was gradually lowered and replaced with nitrogen. They just put a mask over his face and forced him to breathe nitrogen.

To do it right you want a sealed chamber that starts out pumping in regular air and then switches to nitrogen without the person being killed knowing it happened.

If you avoid CO2 buildup and minimize panic, nitrogen asphyxiation is going to be humane.

The way Alabama did it was absolutely the wrong way which is why it went badly.

It didn't work like they said it would, and the guy died in agony. Which is exactly what he was worried about and why he tried to have a different method used. Alabama denied him on the basis it wouldn't be painful. But it was.

At this point, they may as well just go back to hangings, electrocution, guillotines, firing squads, or just straight-up axe-to-the-neck decapitation by a big burly dude in a black mask. If the red states insist on continuing to have state-sanctioned murder, they should at the very least not waste taxpayers' money on experimental, overcomplicated bullshit that doesn't work at all like the lobbyists promised.

They should use a standard medical anesthetic to put the person under first, then switch to nitrogen once they're unconscious. Or the gradual introduction others mentioned. Or a shit ton of other obvious things that Alabama didn't think of.

It's barbaric to execute at all and I oppose it under any circumstances, but it could have been more humane if they had done it properly.

I think there is some resistance to painless execution. The vicarious revenge crowd want to see suffering.

If the goal is to kill someone while minimizing suffering, then there is a right way.

You can disagree with the goal, but doing so doesnt change the fact that thered be a right way to accomplish it.

The moment you set out with a goal like "kill someone but minimize suffering" you've already failed. It doesn't really matter how you kill someone. They're going to be dead when you're done. What difference does it make if the last 5 minutes if their life was torture? "Killing" and "minimize suffering" are opposed ideals. Working towards one means you lose progress in the other.

This whole thing would be invalidated if the makers of Euthasol would just give in and let prisons buy it.

There is literally a drug that is used on animals that works 100% humanely and frequently used on animals. It's a powerful barbiturate mixed with a seizure medication and in high doses completely disconnects your brain from your body and causes immediate loss of consciousness followed by no respirations. No animal ever appears to suffer when given.

Unfortunately states try to do fancy cocktails and weird shit like this when better methods aren't available.

Or just go back to the guillotine. Seems pretty effective too

Basically the guy held his breath as long as possible, resulting in all the suffering usually associated with suffocation. The only way to get around that issue would be for the condemned prisoner to not know when the gas feed changed.

Why would you draw and quarter a perfectly healthy cat?

Give the convicted criminal still handcuffed to the family whose lives he/she devastated. Then start a timer for five minutes.
