Electric Chair
On the other hand, the electric chair isn’t the better way to go either.
As the current zaps through the body, the heart stops, the blood boils and the nervous system goes haywire, causing asphyxiation. There’s also a lot of physiological changes that happens to the body, with things sizzling, popping and catching fire, so it’s not pretty. But at least you go right?
Not always. Some reports have indicated that sometimes the current is too low to dispatch you quickly and it’s a slow process – almost 10 minutes and you’re awake the entire time.
