Do you know that your body behaves differently when voluntarily being underwater while holding your breath and being held underwater while holding your breath knowing the person isn't going to let you breath again?
The negative side effects of the latter kick in way before you start to run out of oxygen.
The difference is that nitrogen is odorless and colorless and we breath it in constantly. You won't notice it, you'll just start panting, get loopy, then lose consciousness.
That is relevant when the person doesn't know. Someone being executed will know that getting loopy means they are dying, and trigger a distress response.
CO2 isn't necessary to let your body know it is suffocating when you already know you are suffocating.
Except part of that response is because suffocating is uncomfortable. If I had to die id rather drift off to sleep. Your grandstanding here isn't going to get rid of the death penalty in Alabama. It may as well be more humane. Unless you are for more discomfort to make a point.
There was a dude who used to sell kits for people to kill themselves with helium. Random people can manage it with a hood they put on themselves. Its less prone to error than other forms such as lethal injection where they have to be able to hit a vein and not blow it.
....and there you go. I was reading attentively, but welp. Any seriousness of whatever argument you were trying to make going down the drain with three simple words.
Yours went down with two so I guess you won. Congrats!
