“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    Locked in a box, with a cat, a flask of poison, a radioactive source, and a Geiger counter.

    Except when the Geiger counter gets a hit, it sets off a nuclear bomb inside the box so I’m instantly vaporized.

      It only truly works if you can isolate the room completely. That’s quite hard to do with a nuke involved. You’ll definitely know when they are dead!

      Unfortunately, I believe any use of nuclear weapons is prohibited by treaties. Might I suggest a giant acme hammer or anvil? Instant meat paste, assuming they aren’t a cartoon character in disguise.

        I kinda want to be able to donate my organs, so maybe they could just make a bomb-helmet with shaped charges that would paste my head and leave the rest of my body intact for harvesting. 🤯

          I’m actually curious whether nitrogen hypoxia would leave the organs viable. However, it’s not a point that should be pushed. Let’s not give the rich any more reasons to want to keep the death penalty.

          Your method could be a bit messy. I’d imagine even the doctors involved in the organ harvesting would be squeamish when confronted by the results. Ironically, nitrogen hypoxia would be my preferred way to go.
