You don’t struggle against anything, with nitrogen you get sleepy and drop out, they tested it on pigs, bin of apples flooded with nitrogen, pig munches away, inhales enough gas they lose consciousness and fall over, they start breathing room air again and wake up, and go right back to the bin of apples.
Thought being if it was unpleasant at all they wouldn’t go back.
Look up the documentary “how to kill a human being” it was on BBC back in like 2010 I think.
IMO they don’t deserve a nice comfy quiet exit from existence, I truly feel that anyone put to death should get the exact same treatment as their victims.
You didn't limit your statement to "she" though, you gave the encompassing statement of "they" which can only be attributed to the comlete subject, which would be all death row inmates.
So you either need to go back and make an edit, and change your stance to match what you've said here,
Oh it certainly does work that way. I’ve worked in enclosed spaces with various types of gases and the inert gas tanks are always the scariest. You literally have no idea until you pass out and then die, gotta be 1000% on top of your gas monitoring for stuff like nitrogen.
Masks, however, allow CO2 to be breathed back in by the individual, along with the nitrogen, and create what’s called a hypercapnic response, basically the feeling of suffocation and panic, etc. You NEED to maintain low CO2 levels to keep this response from happening, Alabama didn’t do that. Vets don’t euthanize animals this way anymore either for the same reason. Livestock is depopulated with nitrogen foam in various countries but you still run into issues of general panic/suffocation because nitrogen foam is used to kill large populations, CO2 is heavy, it’s not going to be immediately miscible in the air and float off, so you have a rather large CO2 blanket now down with the animals who are also asphyxiating on nitrogen giving them a hypercapnic response.
If you could replace the atmosphere with nitrogen, AND keep CO2 levels low then it is a painless way to go. It’s a tough problem though, especially if the person does not want to die. For places like my previous employers, the vessels are large enough that sufficient CO2 build-up doesn’t happen but they’re also too large that it typically won’t kill someone quickly, like one wants to do for an execution. Sarco Pods are probably the closest thing we have but they haven’t been approved anywhere yet and likely too expensive for a state prison complex to shell out for.
Yeah dude in Alabama def fought back against that mask, they shoudlve used something like those assisted-suicide nitrogen pods that they have in Europe that fills the entire atmosphere.
EU just started to allow nitrogen to be used on animals about a month or two ago. It’s crazy because CO2 had been previously been on the approved list for livestock for a while and CO2 is not an inert gas, you literally feel like you’re suffocating.
Impossible to quantify but doubtful, if they knew there was a threat they would behave appropriately, these pigs were perfectly content eating apples and passing out repeatedly.
