Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 16, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 16, 2018 After having trouble obtaining drugs needed for lethal injections, Oklahoma is planning to change its primary method of execution to nitrogen gas inhalation. It would be the first time a U.S. state uses this method of execution, though six states have gas inhalation in their laws as a secondary method to lethal injection, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. "We can no longer sit on the sidelines and wait to find drugs," Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter told reporters. Using inert gas inhalation "will be effective, simple to administer, easy to obtain, and requires no complex medical procedures." The state has not carried out an execution since 2015 following multiple problems with lethal injections. According to The Associated Press, that included "a botched lethal injection where an inmate was seen writhing in pain and another inmate who was executed using a drug not approved by the state."

We slaughter cows and pigs by a bullet to the brain. Not sure what all the fuss is about here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of us are already breathing in nitrogen gas everyday. The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. So the better way to describe the method would be taking away oxygen since that’s what will actually cause death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
