7. Doctor Death
Whether very sick people should be helped to end their own lives is a question many people cannot answer. However, Dr. Kevorkian is an exception. That he has done this more than twenty times is known to everyone. Some say what he is doing is immoral. They call him Doctor Death. Others say what he is doing is merciful. They call it mercy killing.
Whether Dr. Kevorkian should be allowed to continue doing this is a real problem for the government. There seem to be two sides to the argument. Which side are you on?
是否应该帮助病入膏肓的人结束他们的生命是一个令许多人难以回答的问题。然而,凯渥肯医生是个例外。大家都知道他帮人这么做已经有二十多次了。有些人说他所做的是不道德的。他们称他为死亡医生。有些人则说他所做的事很仁慈。他们称之为安乐死。
对于政府来说,是否应该继续让凯渥肯医生结束病人的生命真的是个问题。这项争议似乎正反两面都有人支持。你站在哪一边呢？
