      I did read the article. He was holding his breath and shaking around.

      Death by nitrogen hypoxia isn’t something we invented for executions. I don’t know why news articles are pretending that it’s this brand new untested method of killing people.

        I wonder if the shaking around was an attempt to break the mask’s seal. Maybe this method could be improved by using one of those assisted suicide nitrogen pods.

        He was holding his breath and shaking around.

        Which kind of shows it isn’t all that humane, doesn’t it? He was desperately trying to cling to life.

          I mean, there’s nothing humane about killing someone who knows what’s happening and doesn’t want to die.

          If my life were ever going to be ended in an intentional manner, this is the method I would choose.
