The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is file socially accepted thing to do.
A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.
To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to
选项
A、improving the quality of one’s life.
B、limiting one’s personal health choice.
C、deliberately ending one’s life.
D、breaking the rules of social behavior.
答案
C
解析
本题考查细节。问:Fries和Crapo见一些人明知有些习惯有害身心健康,反而还要放纵自己去追求,他们两人把这些人的行为比作什么。文中谈论个人选择伦理方面的问题时,Fries和Crapo打了一个比方。他们说明:知道某种行为有可能会缩短自己的生命,还要放纵自己去追求它,这就如同自杀一样。由此可见,C 是答案。
