单选题 Which of the following best summarizes the author's attitude toward the Advance Directive?

A、 It should be made legally binding in Britain.
B、 It's morally questionable.
C、 It is the same as mercy killing, and therefore should not be encouraged.
D、 It runs counter to traditional English law.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】这是一个推断作者态度的题目。首先，文章第一段提到死亡对于“a patient with the protracted terminal illness”是一种解脱，接着，又分析了Advance Directive的法律基础，并且提到“the patient has the right to refuse medical treatment according to traditional law”，最后还提到在美国和其他英联邦国家有先例，所以得出答案是A。
