Continuous Sedation at the End of Life: Ethical, Clinical and Legal Perspectives - Cambridge Bioethics and Law
Sigrid Sterckx
Continuous sedation is becoming increasingly common in end-of-life care. It raises many concerns, though, especially regarding reducing or removing consciousness, withholding hydration and whether it amounts to 'slow euthanasia'. In this book, ethicists, clinicians and lawyers address these concerns and discuss various justifications and guidelines for the practice.
