It is painless. You can try it out yourself. Your body only detects excess CO2 not lack of oxygen. You will go lightheaded before passing out and eventually dying of oxygen starvation
Never heard of death by nitrogen until his morning, but this conversation got me curious enough to read this article, which doesn’t convince me it’s painless.
When Alabama and two other states authorized nitrogen hypoxia, supporters said it was a more humane method of execution. Others, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have said there isn’t yet sufficient evidence to back up that claim.
Because no person has ever been executed by inhaling pure nitrogen — there is seemingly no way to humanely test its use — exactly how the state will carry out a nitrogen hypoxia execution is unclear. A deputy state attorney general said the state has developed a protocol for it, but added that it has not been finalized…
It’s only a quibble, though, for me. I’m opposed to the death penalty, even if they devise a method that causes fatal orgasm.
Oh, this is absolutely nothing new. Without getting into details… this method of administering death has been advocated for by doctors and activists. Done correctly, the victim of this capital punishment may not feel a thing at all. Done poorly, there may be raised heart rate, hyper-ventilation, and involuntary convulsions.

Oh, and I can try it out myself? Thanks, mate. :)

You cracked me up with that. :) Sounds like a doctor my wife & I had in Kansas City…
