Euthanasia - - Answers "eu" Greek for good
Thanatos - death
Withdrawal of life support - Answers removal of tubes, respirators, or other type of artificial support
that may prolong life. Excess use of medical technology to extend "apparently" meaningless life &
prolong suffering is one of the factors that have stirred public energy. Hastening the death of a person
by altering some form of support. Also, includes cessation of eating and drinking. Requires decisional
capacity of patient or legal proxy. Often referred to as passive euthanasia
Terminal/Palliative Sedation - Answers high doses of sedation to render patient
unconscious. Goal is to relieve extreme
physical suffering and comfortably get
the person to death, not to hasten the
end of life. Dose of medication is
maintained not increased once sedation
is achieved, and no subsequent
intervention (e.g., muscle-paralyzing
agent) is given to accelerate death.

life)
