Best Answer

There are two definitions for anesthesia:

* a lack of sensation or the ability to feel physical sensations such as pain * a medical method of making a creature insensitive to pain -- normally done to allow a medical procedure that would be painful without the anesthesia. This can be local such as deadening a tooth to pull it or putting someone to sleep for major surgery.
