Who wants to revert to that most dreaded of all human conditions, a second childhood?Well, it seems that everybody wants to. The Biblical span of three score years and ten is simple not enough.

No one would deny that this is a good thingprovided one enjoys perfect health. But is it a good thing to huma
24、n suffering, to prolong life, not in order to give joy and happiness, but to give pain or sorrow? Take an extreme example. Take the case of a man who is so senile that he has lost all his faculties. He is in hospital in an unconscious state with little chance of coming round, but he is kept alive by
25、 artificial means for an indefinite period. Everyone, his friends, relatives and even the doctors agree that death will bring release. Indeed, the patient himself would agreeif he were in a position to give voice to his feelings. Yet everything is done to perpetuate what has become a meaningless exi
26、stence.The question of euthanasia raises serious moral issues, since it implies that active measures will be taken to terminate human life. And this is an exceedingly dangerous principle to allow. But might it not be possible to compromise? With regard to senility, it might be preferable to let natu
27、re take its course when death will relieve suffering. After all, this would be doing no more than was done in the past, before medical science made it possible to interfere with the course of nature.There are people in Afghanistan and Russia who are reputed to live to a ripe old age. These exception
28、ally robust individuals are just getting into their stride at 70. Cases have been reported of men over 150 years old. Under such exceptional conditions, who wouldnt want to go on living forever?

37、sary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which provided the legal basis for bringing about the changes listed above.Professor Gordon S. Wood of Brown University points out that within a decade or two around the American Revolution, Americans ceased to feel psychologically th
38、at they were members of a hierarchical worldi.e., one of “dependency” on their social and economic “betters”but instead were “as good as the next fellow”. This reflects the implicit American value that everyone ought to advance in life on his own efforts, and that it is “bad” in an important sense t
39、o have had someone elses help (especially ones familys help) in becoming successful. The flip side of this is that it is equally “bad” to not be able to make it on your own because you happen to be born with, or suffer from, a disability. It is part of the “radicalism” of the American experience to
40、believe very strongly that “Im just as good as everyone else” and everyone should therefore have an equal opportunity to be successful.In an important sense, Americans tend to look at success in life as a kind of game in which there will be big winners, small winners, and even a few losers. Implicit
41、 in the nature of games, however, is that they are played fairly. As children, Americans detest the sandbox bully who plays by his own rules and spitefully takes his toys home when other will not abide by them. All of this brings me back to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Its point is to provid
42、e equal opportunity for those who have been with the disability, or having suffered, a serious disability not of their own making.We scold our children when they point or stare at strangers who appear different. Implicit, I guess, Americans feel that even the act of pointing at a stranger is in some
43、 way a diminution of his or her fundamental status as an equal human being.41. Why is so much improvement for the disabilities implemented in America?A. Because the American law regulates it.B. Because American people are forced to do it.C. Because American people are ready to help the handicapped.D
