Hangings have their own issues. If you use too much rope, the body goes too fast, and can snap the rope or decapitate the condemned. Too little and you get strangulation instead of a proper hanging.
Having said that, as many practicioners of autoerotic asphyxiation have inadvertantly discovered (or not, as the case may be), asphyxiation can actually be a very humane form of execution. You black out after about a minute, and you just never wake up again.
Yes. Let's all remember the guillotine was invented as a humane punishment.
Off with their heads!
No motr humane than a quick noose

Sounds like a job for an engineer.
