问题 A.seeks to     B.a harmful one     C.hasten death     D.as long as
A.how medicine【T13】_______relieve dying patients of pain and suffering
B.you can risk your patient’s suicide【T14】______you don’t intend their suicide.
C.if that might【T15】______
D.a good one that is intended and【T16】______that is foreseen
    The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for【T17】______.
    Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of "double effect", a centuries-old moralprinciple holding that an action having two effects—【T18】______—is permissible if theactor intends only the good effect.
    Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients’ pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.
    Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to control their pain【T19】______."
    George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death."It’s like surgery," he says, "We don’t call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn’t intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death.If you’re a physician,【T20】______."
【T18】
选项
答案D
解析 根据语境可知，空格所在句的意思应为：Montefiore医疗中心主任Nancy Dubier认为，这一准则会为一些医生辩护，这些医生“直到现在还在坚决主张假如增加使用量可能使病人死亡加速，因而他们不能为了减小病人疼痛而大量用药”。所以，D项符合题意。
