6. I saw a tv show that advocated hypoxia as an execution method.

A presenter actually tried it - of course they stopped before death - hypoxia being removing all the oxygen from the environment.

But they simulated for him what pilots experience when they don't have oxygen.

He said he didn't have any pain, but was just inattentive and slightly euphoric. They said he would have passed out and died peacefully if they hadn't removed him from the oxygen-free environment.

Pro or con death penalty, wouldn't this be a drug-free and error-free method of carrying it out?
