On an average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices "active" euthanasia(安乐死): intentionally administering a lethal(致死的)drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can affect an ultimate cure. "Active" euthanasia remains a crime on the Dutch statute books. But a series of court cases has made it clear that a competent physician who carries it out will not be prosecuted.
Euthanasia, often called "mercy killing" is a crime in Western Europe. But more and more doctors and nurses readily admit to practicing it, most often in the"passive" form of withholding or withdrawing treatment. The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a, sometimes, fierce public debate. Those opposed to the practice see themselves upholding sacred principles of respect for life, while those in favor raise the banner of humane treatment. After years on the defensive, the advocates now seem to be gaining ground.
Reasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find. Nowadays, lingering chronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause of death. And the euthanasists argue that every human being should have the right to "die with dignity".
Most experts believe that euthanasia will continue to be practiced no matter what the law says.
The last sentence in the passage indicates that______.
选项
A、people will stop the practice of euthanasia immediately
B、people will resume the practice of euthanasia only after it is allowed by law
C、people will go on practicing euthanasia no matter it is passed by law or not
D、only passive euthanasia is allowed according to the law
答案
C
解析
推断题。文章第二提到近几年安乐死已经得到越来越多人的支持,“After years onthe defensive,the advocates now seem to be gaining ground.”在第三段中又谈到,“Rea—sons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find.”由此可见,不管法律是否通过,安乐死仍然受到支持,人们仍会继续以往的做法。故选C。
