Do they use N in euthanasia?

[dropintheocean]

Is IV N the quickest, most peaceful and not painful way to die? Is IV N always the preferable choice in euthanasia and assisted suicide (administrated by doctor) clinics? Or do they prefer to use something else? Thanks!

too small of a sample size to get an actual good estimate but it does show that having easier access to a peaceful means of death increases suicide, the same goes for other medical professionals.

25 percent of Vets who committed suicide used N.

Important question is why did overwhelming majority of Vets(75 percent) chose NOT to use N and use other methods ?
