    I guess a potential "solution" (other than not executing people in the first place) could be to put the tube directly in their mouth in some way that they can't remove it. It would probably be pretty uncomfortable, but not necessarily painful. But I guess it might appear a little brutal.

    And they might fight against having it put in their mouth, but that seems like a problem for literally any execution method.

    Edit: or just anesthetize them first. Is there a way to anesthetize that can't be resisted with painful results?

      Could you not just like, overdose them on heroin? Maybe followed by nitrogen for confirmation? Or of course you could just not execute people.

        Yeah, plus doctors and nurses won't do it which means you're relying on untrained pigs.

        Yeah anasthesis is complicated and you run into the same issues trying to buy those drugs that are already making prisons seek out this execution method. You could just as easily cause toxicity and overdose or run into a allergy to the drug and then the execution will again be botched becuase the prisoner has to be in good health before the "proper" method of execution is delivered.

        It's just so fucked.
