Painless execution

nitrogen asphyxiation??? ever hear of the bends? not a good way to go.

the bends is nitrogen decompresion. nitrogen that is compressed into your bloodstream caused by high pressure then a sudden decompression which leads your blood to bubble. thats not the same thing nitrogen asphyxiation which is lack of oxygen due to there only being nitrogen in the room.

Potassium in the bloodstream? Holy fuck....

You dont understand how evolution works. It's all about passing your genes to to next generation. This means all the traits an organism has before it mates/passes on genetic material are the only ones that matter. Some kind of euphoria or painlessness while dying would have no reason to be passed down the evolutionary chain. Because the ones dying, are not the ones mating. Trust me, dying sucks, unless you get crushed by a 100-ton freight container, it's gonna freakin' hurt.

No,I dont think you understand.After breeding of many generations for humans,certain traits,the positive ones,are utilized.Then each generations grows stronget and more resistant.Like a marijuana plant.Thus making it believeable that naturalyy over time,us as humans,have developed something that makes death a less painful experience.Thats what i was tring to say last night,but i was sloshed.It's only 3Pm now,so i haven't broken into the cabinet yet.Cheers

Having a gland that releases chemicals to make us not feel pain whilst starving is a good tool, that way the animal doesn't focus on the pains and can't do anything. Feeling euphoria, my guess would give the animal a few more days to find food, or allow it to slip peacefully.
