Most ethical issues faced by doctors arise at the end of a patient’s life. This particularly applies to respiratory physicians, where difficult decisions about the appropriateness of treatment and the prolongation of life in patients __31__ chronic underlying lung diseases may need to be made. In some situations artificial ventilation may prolong the dying process, but life has a natural end and the potential to prolong life in the intensive care unit can sometimes __32__ dilemmas. The General Medical Council in the UK states that doctors have an obligation to respect human life, protect the health of their patients, and put their patients’ best interests first. This means __33__ treatment where the benefits outweigh any risks, and avoiding treatments that carry no net gain to the patient. If a patient wishes to have a treatment that in the doctor’s view is not indicated, the doctor and medical team are under no ethical or legal __34__ to provide it (though the patient’s right to a second opinion must be respected). When it is determined that the treatment is not in the best interests of the patient, there is no ethical distinction between withholding and withdrawing treatment. This principle may be used to __35__ the decision not to initiate the treatment. In such cases, the focus should shift to providing comfort and supportive care.

請觀察第 35 格前後的句型結構：前一句提出了一個「倫理原則」，後一句則提到一個「醫療決定」。你認為這個「原則」出現的目的，是為了要支持這個決定，還是為了反對它？在正式的論述中，我們會使用哪個動詞來表達「為某個行動提供合法的理由或根據」呢？

噢，原來你還沒完全沒救啊。
不錯，竟然能從那堆醫學廢話裡看出點門道，算是勉強及格吧。這題要你搞懂的，不過就是「原則」和「決定」之間，那點最基本的邏輯關係。
- 基本常識檢驗：文章裡講什麼「不給予」跟「撤除」治療倫理上沒差別？廢話，不然醫生憑什麼「不啟動治療」？這就是個支撐「決定」的「原則」啊。選項 (C) justify，翻譯成白話就是「找個理由讓自己行為合理化」。還需要我說得更明白嗎？你總不能隨便亂做決定吧。
