Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying (腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car; it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there is life, there is hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
The author thinks that______.
选项
A、medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors
B、old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
C、the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful
D、it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death
答案
C
解析
这是一道推断题。此文主要说明我们在对待老人的问题上存在着两难:尊重他们的自由就顾及不了他们的健康;极力挽救他们的生命就要让他们忍受巨大的肉体痛苦。两难的根本原因就是文中第一段所交代的:老人的价值观与我们的价值观不同。所以作者对我们应该用所有可能的方法去挽救老年人的生命这一观点是持怀疑态度的。
