About the March 2025 Snippet

Topic: ‘When Ideology Corrupts Science, Is Nembutal a Peaceful Death?’

Synopsis: There has been much discussion about pulmonary edema (subjective drowning) when it comes to execution deaths that use, amongst other drugs, sodium pentobarbital (Nembutal).

The Mayo Clinic defines pulmonary edema as ‘a condition caused by too much fluid in the lungs. This fluid collects in the many air sacs in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe.’

Some argue that in 66% of Nembutal executions there is a ‘sudden escape of edema fluid into normally air-filled lungs.’ These findings’ they say ‘explain witnessed respiratory distress during executions …’

However, those working in the assisted suicide/ euthanasia sector around the world (where Nembutal is administered both orally and intravenously) say that they have never witnessed this so-called ‘respiratory distress’.

This begs the question of what is going on. Is the science being corrupted by ideology?

The March 2025 Exit Snippet will discuss and explain the politics of the Nembutal death.
