AnnotationPhysician-assisted suicide, terminal sedation, and patient-selected and not physician-encouraged self-starvation, may, under some circumstances, all be part of orchestrating the end of life. When, however, orchestration is skilfully done by a well-trained and practised team, few people will want to take refuge in these options of last resort. This commentary discusses the issues.
