So you're saying it's like the lethal injection? Not actually a peaceful way to die but just looks so to outsiders?
CO2 poisoning does not look peaceful to outsiders
Yeah, I worked in a biology lab that regrettably used co2 for euthanizing mice. They would struggle, and begin to thrash uncontrollably as they ran out of oxygen, then they would slow down until they are just barely twitching before all movement completely ceases. It's a disgusting way to die.
In the case of CO2 asphyxiation, it doesn’t even appear peaceful to an outside observer. There are videos online showing what it actually looks like, and it’s not pretty.
