A comment on the Nitrogen Gas Asphyxiation Method for Capital Punishment. It is potentially the least physiological stressful and most painless method of all the alternatives of which I can think if the subject is exposed immediately to an atmosphere of 100% Nitrogen resulting in immediate loss of consciousness in fewer than ten normal breaths.
If however, the percentage of Nitrogen is slowly increased as the Oxygen Level is dropped, the subject will experience increasing hypoxia responding with increasing Respiratory Rate and Depth until consciousness is lost. This will probably cause fear and panic before everything goes dark....
