This is how I would want to go. Look up BBC Horizon 2008 How to Kill a Human Being. Explains everything you need to know. Seems like states don't want to do it because people wouldn't suffer during execution. Maybe things have changed since then.
Is it really an execution if there is no suffering? /s
Is lethal injection painful?
yes, they paralyze you then inject you with poison
Being poisoned isn't necessarily painful. What poison do they inject?
Here's an article about it: https://www.npr.org/2020/09/21/793177589/gasping-for-air-autopsies-reveal-troubling-effects-of-lethal-injection
I don't understand how we have problems with people dying in the streets from opioid overdoses or mixing benzos and alcohol, but the government can't find a way to kill people without drowning them in their own blood.
Because the cruelty is the point. Nitrogen asphyxiation has been known for a long time. The Sarco suicide pod uses it because it's a peaceful death. The whole reason it hasn't been adopted is because they want the condemned to suffer.
Well, I can't imagine why we got rid execution with electricity if they are supposed to suffer.

To me it seems like they're trying to make the process more acceptable to the public so they can delight in more of them.
