Execution Innovation, American Style

So, some U.S. states are proposing to execute prisoners by putting them into a room & replacing the air with pure nitrogen. Despite the P.R., death by hypoxia (suffocation) is far from painless; it is torment. The Nazis hung their victims so that their necks did not break. This guaranteed that they would slowly suffocate. Why don’t these states with apparently nostalgic feelings for the old, tried and true, ways to kill people just tie a plastic bag over the heads of the condemned? Maybe being burnt alive at the stake’ll be the next step backwards.
