Ok. So I was right. Executions should be painful and cause suffering because that’s the entire point. Quick, simpler, more effective,.more humane methods shouldn’t be utilized because it is antithetical to executions. Inert gas asphyxiation has been tested and it is a popular method of assisted suicide. People use it often with the intention of dying. To say it hasn’t been tested on people who know they are going to die is just flat out bullshit. Philip Nitschke a former physician and founder of Exit International developed the exit bag with the specific intent of providing a peaceful way for people to kill themselves, assisted or not. He also invented the sarco pod for these exact reasons, using nitrogen as the preferred inert gas. Inert gas works well. Full stop.
It would also be very easy to ensure people are dead before removing them from the pod. It’s called an ecg. Hell, even a pulse oximeter that displays heart rate (which is virtually all of them and can be obtained for a few bucks from a drug store) would work in a pinch. Monitor their heart rate, once asystole presents, wait a few minutes before removing the gas. It is exceptionally more simple to confirm death with inert gas than by other methods such as lethal injection, which is the most common nowadays. Do you know how easy it is to fuck up lethal injection?
The fact that you feel it’s appropriate to compare this to gas chambers highlights how willfully ignorant you are. Nitrogen isn’t zyklon B or cyanide and sulphuric acid. 78% of the air you breathe is nitrogen for fucks sake. The mechanisms at play are nothing like each other. They’re not even on the same planet.
It’s an incredibly simple procedure with essentially zero room for fuck ups. Can you put a mask on and turn a knob? Congrats, youve done it! We know how hypoxia presents in people that aren’t being actively strangled. You get light headed, giddy, confused, and then you pass out. All within a minute. It’s quick, potentially euphoric and you’ll be out before your oxygen starved brain knows what’s going on.
If we’re going to execute people, which we obviously shouldn’t, them it should be as quick and painless as possible. I know you don’t give a shit about that since you’ve stated twice that executions should be painful and cause suffering because “that’s the point”, but pull your head out of your ass. Stop getting off on the idea of painful executions and leave room for people who know what the fuck they’re talking about to pave the way forward.
Your individual opinion doesn’t matter, but if enough people are fooled into believing the same braindead garbage you’re spewing then the cruel and innefective methods we’re currently using will stay in use for the foreseeable future. Keep your dog shit opinions to yourself so it doesn’t spread
I know the science behind the theory. Dude you have way too faith in states willingness get executions correct or that they’ll actually care if asphyxiation via any type of gas is or isn’t painful.
I have no faith in the state and I’m explicitly against execution. I support inert gas executions because I don’t trust the state to use other means effectively. There is essentially no room to fuck it up. It’s dead simple and requires minimal equipment or set up. You could fit enough nitrogen and masks to kill over 10 people in a backpack if you needed to. I don’t care if they care if it’s not painful. I know it isn’t painful. Your contrarianism is hollow and based on nothing but your own ignorance

I honestly feel like everyone is taking crazy pills to support the gas chamber 2.0
It’s not like they didn’t say the same fucking things about lethal injection, gas chamber, and the electric chair.
This will inevitably back fire for several reasons.
