http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_asphyxiation
The painful sensation of asphyxiation is not caused by lack of oxygen, but by a buildup of carbon dioxide. If you bathe a person in a nitrogen bath, they will not notice anything wrong. They'll just eventually pass out, barely noticing anything wrong. There's absolutely no pain involved, and it looks completely humane.
If there's questions about the painfullness of lethal injection, I see no reason why NOT to switch to this method. This method is certainly painless, and doesn't require someone to die in a drugged out unconciouness like lethal injection. Even if lethal injection is not declared to be cruel and unusual, we should probably consider this, if we MUST keep the death penalty.
