Aborting under the advice of one doctor
Shalom rav, I was just asked the following question, which I would like to present to you. The lady who asked me is pregnant in
Does Jewish law permit "heavy sedation" for the treatment of intractable pain? That is, when standard opioids and narcotics are unable to effectively treat a person's pain, would Jewish law permit a physician to intentionally sedate a person for an extended period of time in order to treat the pain as long as the physician believes that the sedation is not likely to shorten the person's life?
Again, I am not asking about "terminal sedation" or active euthenasia; I am asking about "heavy sedation" used to treat pain when there is no reason to believe that edating the person will shorten his or her life.
thank you
So long as the purpose of the heavy sedation is for the patient's benefit to treat his pain Halacha not only permits but would mandate it as for any other treatment that is for the patient's benefit. Obviously, the treatment must be under the control of a physician experienced in it's use and side effects.
