Instead of lethal injection...

Why dont they just use carbon monoxide? Seems like it would be a lot more simple and cheaper

Same question: Why not nitrogen?

Full suspension is also very quick as long as you place the noose correctly. From what I read from the doctor's article on hanging from 1875 it was reported that most prisoners did not struggle during a "no drop" hanging and that there were only a few where they showed signs of pain whilst conscious. Most likely because the executioners were using a wrong knot or a too wide rope.
