UT Southwestern's Ethics Grand Rounds: Continuous Sedation at the End of Life: When Is It Ethical? Speaker: Joseph A. Raho, Ph.D. Clinical Ethicist at the UCLA Health Ethics Center and Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles Abstract: Continuous sedation is an ethically controversial end-of-life option.

Ethical criteria for continuous sedation will be proposed and defended. The presentation will conclude by considering an approac…
