The practice of personalism in health care will not survive unless health care professionals uphold the inherently equal value of all persons and regard health care as a covenant between themselves and their patients. Respecting the dignity and rights of patients, especially those whose quality of life is severely diminished, demands increasingly great and even heroic efforts.
除非医疗保健专业人员坚持所有人内在的平等价值，并将医疗保健视为他们与患者之间的契约，否则医疗保健中的个人主义做法将无法存续。尊重患者的尊严和权利，尤其是那些生活质量严重下降的患者的尊严和权利，需要付出越来越大甚至堪称英勇的努力。
