FOR HUMANE EUTHANASIA

Effects of carbon monoxide poisoning are relevant to humans operating gas chambers, and the animals euthanized by exposure to CO gas.    
 
Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause Priapism, painful erections which can lead to impotence.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning- A Public Health Perspective
"Pulmonary edema may occur. Neurological manifestation of acute CO poisoning includes disorientation, confusion, and coma. Perhaps the most insidious effect of CP poisoning is the development of delayed neuropsychiatric impairment within 2 - 28 days after poisoning and the slow resolution of neurobehavioral consequences."

Red blood cells pick up CO quicker than they pick up oxygen. If there is a lot of CO in the air, the body may replace oxygen in blood with CO. This blocks oxygen from getting into the body, which can damage tissues and result in death.

Neuroimaging, Cognitive, and Neurobehavioral Outcomes Following Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Ramona O. Hopkins, Fu Lye M. Woon, Brigham Young University
http://bcn.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/5/3/141  "It is estimated that as high as 50% of individuals with carbon monoxide poisoning will develop neurologic, neurobehavioral, or cognitive sequelae."
 
The Elimination of Carbon Monoxide from the Blood
Occasionally the blood becomes free of carbon monoxide and the coma terminates, but the patient subsequently sinks into a coma again and dies, probably as a result of central nervous system damage.
