Terminal sedation (also known as palliative sedation, continuous deep sedation, or sedation for intractable distress in the dying/of a dying patient) is available for these exceptional cases.

Unfortunately, "exceptional cases make for bad case law."

Terminal sedation is now being used routinely as a form of active euthanasia, to hasten death from terminal dehydration.

Euthanasia by terminal dehydration and terminal sedation is the pro-life battle of our generation.

I agree, it should only be used as a last resort for terminal patients when conventional palliative method simply don’t work.
