There are many contradictions and opposites in health care today, and yet none as topical and controversial as the present situation concerning the quality of life for patients with chronic illnesses and debilitating conditions. On the one hand, there are people queuing up to go to Swiss assisted-suicide clinic, Dignitas, to die. On the other, there are many people with chronic conditions wanting to be resuscitated despite how futile such an exercise may be.
如今的医疗保健领域存在诸多矛盾与对立,然而,没有哪一个像慢性病和衰弱病症患者的生活质量现状这般热门且具争议性。一方面,有人排队前往瑞士的尊严死亡协助自杀诊所赴死。另一方面,有许多慢性病患者尽管这样做可能徒劳无功,却仍希望能被复苏。
