Ohio could begin nitrogen gas executions under bill backed by state’s Republican attorney general
This method was used for the first time in Alabama last week. For at least two minutes, Kenneth Eugene Smith appeared to shake and writhe on the gurney

The use of nitrogen is nothing more than biological suffocation whilst the person is awake. They will know only that horrible inability to breathe whilst at the same time resorting to panic and anxiety breathing. If you wanted to do execution badly, this is it. (Yes, I understand the mechanisms from gaseous exchange through to the pons medulla reflex)
Please read for yourself about the process in Switzerland. Come back when you have understanding of what happens there vs the nitrogen mask. Or alternatively provide your medical expertise to counter?
The U.S. is cruel.
Yes, you sound like you've completely failed to understand the difference in methodologies and are obsessed with nitrogen rather than the process. Come back when you can describe the differences and we can have the medical chat.
You called to explain your point, you only say 'go do your own research, then come back', which isn't helpful, conversationally.
The Dignitas pods in Switzerland do not have patients gasping, straining for breath and trying to escape as they die over a protracted period. There isn't very much call for that. Forgive me for not sharing clinical knowledge online about assisted suicide. You are free to remain uninformed about the nitrogen mask and that is your choice.
