I don’t know how I feel about that. I hate that the state gets to choose who dies, but nitrogen isn’t a bad death.
Imagine feeling like a human for sparing someone a horrendous death.
My friend, we have so long to go.
I think hypoxia is a shitty death regardless - whether drowning or just breathing N2 without O2. CO2 causes gasping, I’d have thought CO might be OK since it’s quick but maybe it’s politically unpopular because it evokes dad in the driveway with the engine running and a hose duct-taped into the cabin. Indeed, a long way to go regardless.
Our bodies trigger on CO. Nitrogen won’t trigger our body to respond.
