I feel like Alabama has been making some high profile bad decisions lately
I mean, we could, maybe not be killing people, but that failing, if they do it right the victim just euphorically slumbers away into death. It's not that hard you just give them nitrogen to breathe. How the f*** can they screw this up?
I always thought suicide bags with nitrogen or helium were the way to go. I didn't read why the last guy had such a miserable death, but I did read it wasn't pretty.
I feel like they could put someone under some anesthesia and finish the job with the gas. Or even better, don't kill people, like you said.
Generalized convulsions are a pretty well-established effect of nitrogen toxicity.
"In the few experiments in which nitrogen was breathed for 17–20 sec unconsciousness supervened and was accompanied on most occasions by a generalized convulsion."

Known in the scuba diving world as "getting narced" (nitrogen narcosis)

"In severe cases, divers have been known to experience convulsions, possibly causing loss of consciousness in extreme cases."
Not-so-sweet home Alabama
It all starts with conservatism and attacks on education
LATELY?!
