Execution by gass in the US today 

I remember some evil humans doing the same in the last World War

Talking about sinking to a new low

Execution by gass in the US today 

I meant: "The United States of Germany" sorry

@stux

Is your objection to execution by gas, or execution at all?

I agree that the death penalty is wrong. But if you are going to have the death penalty gas is probably the most humane way to do it.

@freemo @stux

+1 on @freemo - capital punishment is generally very wrong.

However of Nitrogen Hypoixia - It may be one of most humane ways to do it.

As a long time diver and Instructor Trainer I can tell you that nitrogen narcosis is a real thing... and of the "ways to exit this world" it would be in my top 10 list.

I am a technical diver myself, full trimix.

I agree gas-based death is easily the most humane ways to go, and nitrogen narcosis one of the best.

That said you only get nitrogen narcosis at high pressures ordinary nitrogen hypoxia is humane but not at all like narcosis.

@stux

@freemo @stux

Yep.. I was Instructor trainer all the up to several closed circuit rebreathers.

I'd take a nitrogen / oxygen hit at high partial pressures anyway.

@jeff

I am very resistant to nitrogen narcosis. I can breath air right up to the oxygen toxicity limit pressures while compltely ignoring the nitrogen narcosis... have hundreds of dives logged right at that line.

I feel like for me it wouldnt be quite as enjoyable :)
