Thought some of you would find this interesting.
I don't know if they still do, but Exit Intl Switzerland uses N2O for euthanasia.
And I don't mean as a precursor to something else like propofol or barbiturates.
Sometimes using a face mask, other times filling a plastic bag secured over the head.
N20 does not require a technical setup like the Exit bag. A simple closed system is more than adequate.
Must work pretty damn well if Exit is/was using it.
IMO, it is probably the most peaceful method. Even Nembutal can be vomited, or be metabolized differently by different people. Plus its almost impossible to source after much safer benzos hit the market.
A Swiss psychiatrist was using while at Exit, then left to start his own organization. He has since died.
