some_guyKenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates
Weird, everything I saw on Lemmy until yesterday was about how humane and painless this method is, without any suffering. Seems that the tone has changed
The nitrogen assisted suicide used a different delivery method. The mistake was using a mask for the execution.
Fat TonySo then what do you use?
Many commenters here have addressed it - use an airtight chamber or pod, and flood it with nitrogen to evacuate other gases. The problem was likely that the inmate was able to breathe in some oxygen through gaps around the mask.
