That's a good point. My phone keyboard has the superscript so I used that without thinking too much
It's probably more like the 50th is considered northern really. 60th is into far north territory
Thought experiment:
Put them in a small sealed room with airflow you control. Using a randomly generated number to pick the start time (within some maximum that's deemed appropriate), you then throttle up the nitrogen and throttle down the oxygen.
The time spent in the room would still be pretty terrifying so I doubt it'd be much better than the mask... Maybe the room is their cell and it's a randomly chosen day within an execution "week" where you make sure they're asleep first?
Probably best just to not kill people of course, but if you're gonna do it, do it the most humane way possible.
My understanding is that we can't detect oxygen deprivation, but we can detect CO² buildup which is the idea behind nitrogen asphyxiation. Wouldn't regular suffocation (like, something obstructing your airflow) be quite agonizing then in comparison due to CO² buildup?
Nitrogen asphyxiation should be effective and painless, but not if the person fights it. Which means it'll be hard to use as an execution method (unless you surprise them with it somehow)
Yeah, in a fair world that'd be his entire base flown in from everywhere
I'm curious if you know anything more about this condition so I can learn about it. If I'm understanding right, it made him seem fat but it wasn't fat, right? Otherwise it seems to break my understating that it's physically impossible to not overeat and yet still get fat
Fair point, I was just speaking generally, and that she actually lived way longer than most of her species since most aren't in captivity
This happens quite often with animals in captivity. Nature is dangerous (and health care is important!)
