easier to stave off the after effects of Valium or whatever they decide to use than a full-blown anesthesia like Sodium Pentathol.
I've always been put off by the theory that being put under is the closest you can get to death without dying.James here.....
full-blown anesthesia is not Sodium Pentathol. Pentathol, or others, are used for
sedation so you are not aware of the procedure. Full-blown anesthesia
envolves many drugs but the primary ones are the inhalation anesthetics.
This requires mechanical ventalation to breath for you.james
