单选题The Supreme Court's decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering. Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of "double effect", a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects—a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen—is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect. Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients' pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient. Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to control their pain if that might hasten death. " George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. "It's like surgery," he says. "We don't call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn't intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you're a physician, you can risk your patient's suicide as long as you don't intend their suicide." On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying. Just three weeks before the Court's ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report—Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the under treatment of pain and the aggressive use of "ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying" as the twin problems of end-of-life care. The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life. Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. "Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering," to the extent that it constitutes "systematic patient abuse". He says medical licensing boards "must make it clear that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension. " Questions:

单选题 Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage. The leadership puzzle has been hashed around for decades. Their abilities have been compared to orchestra conductors who can bring together a variety of sounds and instruments to create a united song. They've been compared to coaches who have the ability to orchestrate a group of people in joint strategy without being an actual player in the game. The theories, though important, create a mystique and complexity around leadership that make it difficult to see some basic fundamentals. These basics are not highly complex. The highest level of leadership is gained when "fellowship" can be generated without force, assigned authority or positional status. True following is produced by people who want to engage--not because they have to, are conforming to the rules at hand, or seek to please the leader. When people are following because they "have to," they are not acting of their own free will, but are conforming out of fear or threat. True leadership understands that people need to own their actions and decisions and follow because they want to. A major factor that impedes many leaders is the ability to get their ego in check. Leaders who have perspective on their value don't need to be more important than anybody else. They are not concerned about their status or visibility. Their focus is on their ability to collectively bring people together and create mass movement and action to resolve issues. These leaders have given up their need to be "right" or "on top", and they understand that no one knows better than those performing the work how best to address the problems that emerge in that process. Well-tuned leadership demonstrates the graceful balance between providing overview and perspective without interfering with the initiative taken by the team. Balance enables leaders to stay focused on leading the processes by which the team operates, solves problems and generates new directions without getting in and providing all the answers. These leaders understand that people on their team manage and solve complex problems every day in their lives and in their work. They treat the team with integrity and belief that everyone has what it takes to find the way. These leaders bring out the best in people because they ask everyone to stretch to see the implausible.
