Sedation Suicide Amp the Limits

In this book, James Dunson explores end-of-life ethics including physician-assisted suicide and continuous sedation. He argues that debates ignore the experience of the dying patient in an effort to focus on policy creation, and proposes that the dying experience should instead be prioritized and used to inform policy development.
