    Nitrogen asphyxiation IS a surefire method. People die from it all the time and it’s a big hazard among people who work with nitrogen because your body is literally incapable of telling you there is anything wrong.

    The only experimentation is social. We know for a fact that nitrogen asphyxiation is quick and painless.

    I don’t support the death penalty, but if you’re going to do it, nitrogen is the way to go.

      Yeah, didn’t Switzerland just approve using it for doctor assisted euthanasia?
