"We can treat the infection with drugs and she'll probably get better in a week," he says. "When I say better, I mean she'll go on as she has - until some other germ comes along. Or I can deny her the medicine, in which case she'll probably die in three or four days. We can make those days comfortable by giving her painkillers and sleeping pills. Which course do you want me to follow? " Tough question, isn't it? On the one hand, you cannot bear to see your once vigorous mother living the painful, limited life to which the stroke has condemned her. On the other hand, you hate to be the one to decide to let nature take its course. I'll tell you which choice I would make in this theoretical situation.
“我们可以用药物治疗感染,一周后她可能会好起来,” 他说,“我说‘好起来’,是指她会保持她感染前的状况──直到出现某种别的病菌。或者,我可以停止给她用药,这样一来,她可能三四天后就会去世。我们可以让她舒服地度过这几天,办法是给她用止疼片和安眠药。你希望我采用哪一种方法?” 这是个棘手的问题,对不对? 一方面,你不忍心看着自己一度精力充沛的母亲活在因中风而变得痛苦而有限的生命里。另一方面,你又不愿让母亲坐以待毙。 我来告诉你我在这种假想的情况下会怎么做。
