Execution
The Supreme Court of the US is hearing arguments on lethal injection.
You hear horror stories about botched injections.
What are your thoughts about the mechanisms of lawfully killing someone?
This assumes you favor the death penalty in the first place but the survey only allows five slots and coincidentally there are five methods.

Yes, Sir--13 days! We do it, but there are still people that use the old, "What do you call a 'Major Select'? Captain" thing. Lol

Thank you for your kind words. I try to inject humor... I sometimes fail, but always try. :)

You're so EVIL, CMSgt. So if you cover 'Suicide' via PowerPoint and someone kills themselves, would you still call it death by PowerPoint or suicide??

Nitrogen Asphyxiation.

Like a gas chamber, but "normal" air. Air is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, .5% CO2. Take the Oxygen out, replace it with Nitrogen, and the person is knocked unconscious in seconds, dies peacefully in minutes, and there is no "contamination."

“breathing an oxygen deficient atmosphere can have serious and immediate effects, including unconsciousness after only one or two breaths. The exposed person has no warning and cannot sense that the oxygen level is too low.”

That works for me!

SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S. This method alleviates all my major concerns regarding all the other methods (cruel & unusual). It's essentially as quick and as painless as it can be. There is no logistical concerns. I have always said ignore "cost" (as in $), but this one answers that for those who are worried about it, since Nitrogen is as close to "free" as you can get.

I think this is probably the best way to do it. I said an automated firing squad but that is messy (I liked it because it would be quick and should be 100% effective).
