他们赞成医生杀死病人的理由是：医生的职责之一就是使病人免遭痛苦，这是医生所做的全部事情，而杀死病人则是做到这一点的惟一办法。

Many doctors working on the battlefield of terminal suffering think that only squeamishness demands a firm difference between passive and

The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration.Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort.The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything.But Television encourages us to apply no effort
