It’s a shame they weren’t more headstrong.
Just a little off the top...
I’ve never understood this. I was put under for surgery and it was amazingly painless. Why not use that very drug, but enough to stop the heart. You’d be completely unaware. One or two deep breaths and you’re out, and you don’t come back.
I would think a bullet to the back of the head is best- you don’t see it coming and you probably don’t even feel it.
When you’re beheaded your head can remain conscious - which I think would be horrifying.
Painless except for the two or three seconds you are still sentient after your head is severed. I cannot imagine anything more horrifying than realizing your head is detached and there is no going back.
A tad messy don’t ya think ;D? lol
One short chance to repent and come to Christ.
A life of wood, hay, and stubble or not, I have no doubt some used the seconds appropriately.
Or combine methods — get an anesthesiologist to put the patient totally out, then carry them to the guillotine and just end it quick. Or use a bullet. Doesn’t matter. But, as you say, no one is traumatized by methods of sedation — it quick and easy. The important thing is to make sure these patients don’t wake up. That’s not hard.
Nitrogen Asphyxiation
flow 99% nitrogen gas at 1.1 atmospheres via a breathing mask and wait for the brain waves to be flat for 5 min.
I’m with you. Punch out the brain stem and it’s over before you would even register the process as starting...
Like everything else, Big Pharma has been politicized.

“Punch out the brain stem and it’s over before you would even register the process as starting...”
That’s how the baby killer profiteers like to do it, too.
Easy enough for Michael J.
I’ve heard it asserted that a good sharp guillotine blade could sever the head so quickly that there would be sufficient cranial blood oxygen to allow the victim to be momentarily aware that their body was no longer attached to their head.
Unquestionable effective. Low tech, no fancy drugs or doctors or preparations needed. Could be administered the same day as the death sentence is pronounced.
We unquestionably have the need for capital punishment.
Make it so.
I don’t underhand someone would make a video of a series of stills.
For 15 seconds your head is still alive.
