    The laws are clearly outdated. Drugs for lethal injection frequently fail and cause much more pain and distress. Nitrogen has *no downsides." It’s like the fact that it’s a gas makes people crazy.

        I’m not arguing with your statements, I’m arguing against the content therein. Also, it’s not a productive comment to tell people discussing the ethical benefits of a reform to human euthanasia by saying the obvious, which is that it isn’t yet legal.

        And for the record, I didn’t downvote you. That information is public. The flag of Israel probably isn’t helping in that regard on Lemmy.
