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.
In the author’s opinion, ______.
选项
A、the human body can’t be compared to a car
B、the older a person, the more care he needs
C、too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values
D、it is easy to provide spare parts for old people
答案
A
解析
文中第二段第四句说:“但是永远不要忘了这样的手术都是令人非常痛苦的经历,无论最后取得了多么好的疗效。”由此可以看出,作者虽然在第二段第二句中把身体比喻成一辆汽车,当它变老时需要机械维护。但汽车是无生命的,而人的身体是有强烈感受的,所以不能像替换汽车零件那样替换人的身体组织,在这点上人体与汽车有着严格的不同。由此我们可以看出,人体不能与汽车相比才是作者的真实观点。
