Terminal Sedation: Euthanasia in Disguise by Torbjörn Tännsjö offers a clear, interdisciplinary look at the ethical and medical debates surrounding terminal sedation and its relationship to euthanasia. Written for students and professionals in medicine, nursing, philosophy and social science, the book unpacks legal, moral and practical dimensions of end‑of‑life care.

The author draws on contemporary case studies and philosophical analysis to explore how terminal sedation can be perceived as a form of euthanasia, while also examining patient autonomy and professional responsibilities. Tännsjö’s concise arguments make complex ethical issues accessible without sacrificing scholarly depth.

Published in 2010 by Springer Netherlands, this trade‑paperback textbook runs Xxiv plus 148 pages and is written in English. It is a solid resource for courses on medical ethics, terminal care and death studies.

The copy is in acceptable condition with some cover scuffing, a front inner‑cover stain, and minor staining and pencil writing on the first page. Early pages show slight chipping and marks, but the remainder of the book is clean and comes from a smoke‑free home.
