Morality and other issues of death penalty aside. We hear about botched executions quite often, even to the point that it has to be stopped and administered again. There are so many types of executions and all have trouble. Lethal injection death has about 7% botched rate.
In my mind, how hard is it to kill a person? For example people die of overdose all the time, or from breathing gasses. Dying from a carbon dioxide inhalation is described as falling asleed. People go into anesthesia where thy don`t feel a thing all the time when in surgery.
Its seems like there should be fairly easy painless and efficient method to do it, but there are still so many issues. Why?
EDIT: Carbon monoxide is what was meant, I just suck at chemistry
In: Biology
Want to point out carbon MONOxide is described as falling asleep. Carbon dioxide poisoning is actually the horrible painful asphyxiation because our bodies know the level of carbon dioxide in our blood and actually causes us pain to get to a more oxygen-rich environment. Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer because it is tasteless, odorless, and colorless, we need tech to know it is there.
