Terminal Sedation

Terminal Sedation is a medical practice involving the administration of sedative drugs to a terminally ill patient to alleviate intractable suffering by inducing a state of unconsciousness until death, distinguished from euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide by its intent to relieve refractory symptoms rather than to intentionally cause death.
