Hopefully no-one is ever too lazy to breath, but this idea would be a huge lifesaver. I hope they can make it widely accessible;
Scientists Invent Oxygen Particle That If Injected, Allows You To Live Without Breathing
A team of scientists at the Boston Children’s Hospital have invented what is being considered one the greatest medical breakthroughs in recent years. They have designed a microparticle that can be injected into a person’s bloodstream that can quickly oxygenate their blood. This will even work if the ability to breathe has been restricted, or even cut off entirely.
This finding has the potential to save millions of lives every year. The microparticles can keep an object alive for up to 30 min after respiratory failure.
This is accomplished through an injection into the patients’ veins. Once injected, the microparticles can oxygenate the blood to near normal levels. This has countless potential uses as it allows life to continue when oxygen is needed but unavailable.
Dr. John Kheir, who first began the study, works in the Boston Children’s Hospital Department of Cardiology

PS Don't go injecting gas into yourself anyone, gas embolism can be damaging and fatal!
