Question: Do doctors ever put Cancer riddled people in Comas.?
What i mean is, because of the pain they are feeling and so close to the end of their life is it ever an option for doctors to do this so the patient dies in peace.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
NO, they have no right to do that without ones consent to it. If one does request that he/she's put to coma, then yes but it would involve certain legal work and witnesses, if one is not physically able for it, then ur closest family would make the decision.Health Question & Answer

No. The pain can usually be managed pretty well with intravenous pain killers like morphine or similar opiate drugs.
Placing a patient in a drug induced coma would require intubating the patient (sticking a tube down their throat to breath for them) and placing them on monitors. This is not a good way to go and I don't think any patient would consent to that.Health Question & Answer
