问题     Very old people do raise moral problem for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values—this can’ t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarilv the most important for them. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with going-bad food covered with dust on the table, and an old person King alone on bed , taking no notice oi anything. Is it doing harm to 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 are the ones who clean up the dust, thinking we are in danger of carrying this idea 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 care 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 are. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it right to try to push off death by using drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that there is little hope? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel sure to have a try on the belief that while there’ s life, there’ s 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. [br] The author thinks that______.
选项 A、medical decisions for the old people should be left to the doctors
B、old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
C、the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful
D、it is always right to treat old people and push off death
