Thank you so much!

That's not really an argument at all. How do we prevent future suffering? Is enriching the global poor in line with that ambition? I can think of ways that it isn't—that it will lead to increased suffering. A counterargument would evide that global development will not lead to increased suffering. That we like having undergone development ourselves is not a counterargument and does not imply that funding global development is of positive utility.

I see, thanks. Is it possible to measure spontaneous CNS activity from beginning to end of the stunning and asphyxiating process?

I see, thank you! Has relative CNS inactivity been validated as a proxy for insensibility? Like, do humans with recorded low CNS activity report having been insensible during that episode?
