Palliative Care

Passive euthanasia
Hastening death by withholding or withdrawing life-prolonging or sustaining medical treatments, such as feeding tubes, ventilators, or drugs, with the expectation that death will occur sooner rather than later (The Hastings Center et al., 2023).
Peristalsis
Peristalsis is the involuntary circular and longitudinal muscles movement that moves food through your gastrointestinal tract.
Photobiomodulation
Photobiomodulation is a non-invasive therapeutic technique using specific wavelengths of light, usually in the red or near-infrared spectrum, to stimulate cellular processes and enhance tissue regeneration, promote healing, reduce inflammation, and provide pain relief.
Physician-assisted Dying
The practice of a physician providing the means for mentally competent, adult patients with terminal illness and decision-making capacity, to take his or own life. It permits dying patients to request a prescription for life-ending medications from their physician, usually with a prescription for barbiturates that patient must self-administer and ingest the medication without assistance. This practice is also sometimes also called physician-assisted suicide, Medical Aid-in-Dying (MAiD), physician aid-in-dying, and patient administered hastened death) (The Hastings Center et al., 2023).
