My personal preference is for the French method. It’s not for the squeamish but it’s pretty damned fast and painless... or close enough.

With hold all food and water until death. Mainstream media insisted it was such a humane way for Terry Schiavo to die.

Carbon Monoxide is not, from what I have read, an easy death. Nitrogen, OTOH, is a definitely inert gas that is naturally in the air we breathe, thus the body does not react to the suffocation the same was as other gases.

Who the hell cares if it is painless?

Brings to mind a scene from a 1958 flick, The Fly.

I have promoted nitrogen or one of the Noble gases to quickly and cleanly exterminate death row inmates.

Libs actually want execution to be horrible and painful so they can use that to turn people against it.
If we have painless, quick and clean executions, that takes a tool out of their tool box.

"Unfortunately the lines were purged with nitrogen and the facilities person never switched back to air. 2 techs died, never knew they were being suffocated." I heard second hand of a similar situation.
The connectors for air and nitrogen were identical; a situation begging for an incident.
The tech plugged his breathing mask into the nitrogen by mistake. He was twice dragged out of the room unconscious before the mistake was identified. No discomfort or even a suspicion of trouble was reported by the victim.

Go into a space with a bulk CO2 fire suppression system and trip it. Experience convulsions, arrhythmia, tachycardia, heart failure, massive stroke, coma or all together.

In capital punishment, the penalty is death, not death by torture, so even if painless it doesn’t negate the punishment in any way.
