Interestingly, many forms of execution are very poor methods. Electrocution or hanging or even lethal injection can all go wrong and cause severe pain for the victim as they die. A more certain method would be to simply suffocate them by reducing the oxygen in the air they breathe - guaranteed death and painless too. But this isn't used as a method because it induces a sort of pleasurable euphoria (before you die) and the powers that be don't like the idea of people going out 'on a high'.

Exactly correct! it always used to amaze me in Science fiction that this was ignored. The air would have to be miniaturized as well!
