    The pain will come from the desire to not be killed, i.e., holding your breath and resisting breathing the gas.

    Just because the gas ITSELF doesn’t necessarily cause pain does not mean the METHOD isn’t going to be immensely painful. Judging the technique based on how an unknowing or cooperative victim will perform is just so dumb when it is an execution method.

      I saw other people say that later in the thread. Do we know if that’s why this execution caused pain?

        I mean, we don’t even know that this execution caused pain. Pain is subject and the only guy who can comment on it is dead.

        All we know is that the guy was thrashing around and then seized on the bed over the course of the 20ish minutes from administering the gas to when he apparently went lifeless.

        But it sure sounds like it was excruciating to me.
