As much as I am against the death penalty, if I had to choose a method for myself that seems like the least painful way to go as it won’t trigger the hypercapnic alarm response.
No matter what, capital punishment is just completely immoral. Some might even say unchristian.
Dude, modern Christianity is unchristian.
The USA isn’t a Christian government though, so I’m not sure I follow your point.
Tell that to the Alabama legislature and see what they have to say about that.
Unless they fuck up the system and don’t remove the CO2 properly, or the person panics and holds their breath, or any number of other things that could possibly go wrong.
If I was dying of cancer and a doctor was managing the setup, yeah it would be great. But some amateur putting someone to death with Home Depot leftovers because medical professionals won’t participate in the death penalty due to having ethics means that it will probably go as wrong as their previous attempt to put this guy to death.
You’re unconscious before CO2 even becomes an issue. Nitrogen gas is one of the favored suicide methods in form of suicide bags and similar DIY methods.
