Smith’s execution by “nitrogen hypoxia” took around 22 minutes, according to media witnesses, who were led into a viewing room at the William C Holman correctional facility in Atmore shortly before 8 pm local time.

TBH I am following the news on this because a cheap, legal and easy way out of I get dementia would be reassuring.

Legal is irrelevant if the method is successful. What are they gonna do, throw your corpse in prison?

Second, I wouldn't follow news on state murder to determine how to go out yourself but as a bit of free advice apparently they put just enough oxygen in those helium canisters consumers can buy to stop people doing what you're thinking that way.

Haha, true. Nevertheless I meant legal as in easy to acquire the means.

Do you live a place where that describes a gun?

No. Australia. But if you have a change of mind a split second before pulling the trigger you risk surviving with horrific injury.

My state of NSW last year legalized euthanasia so I suppose the means are accessible. I'm not going to care about expense if it ever gets to that.
