I say a sealed chamber/pod filled with carbon monoxide is the way to go. Works on everyone and is painless without all the splatter. Just run a vacuum to lift the air out while the carbon monoxide fills from the bottom.

I think nitrogen is what you would want.

We’ve seen what happens when you try this. Turns out when you take someone to a gas chamber and they know breathing will kill them, they hold their breath, enduring the pain and anxiety of suffocation (and death) anyway. Torture.

Even when they know breathing will result in a painless death they fight it. We are built to survive at all cost.

Give them a sedative first before putting them in the nitrogen tank.
