"The book is intended primarily for those working in palliative medicine and scholars interested in the topic. ... This is a valuable contribution to the field of palliative medicine, addressing the difficult and poignant topic of end-of-life sedation. The editor has shown great care in gathering a diverse collection of essays addressing relevant ethical issues, thereby providing a much-needed, comprehensive analysis of end-of-life sedation."
