Terminal sedation, also known as palliative sedation, is legal in all U.S. states. Under terminal sedation, a doctor gives a terminally ill patient enough sedatives to induce unconsciousness. The goal is to reduce or eliminate suffering, but in many cases the patient dies without regaining consciousness. Whether terminal sedation hastens death remains an open question. Pain-management doctors say sedation slows breathing and lowers blood pressure and heart rates to potentially lethal levels. In the vast majority of cases, it is accompanied by the cessation of food, drink and antibiotics, which can precipitate death. Terminal sedation is also administered when the underlying disease has made death imminent.
