Graduatessmartphone application playsan important role in our lifeThe Supreme Court ' s decisions on physician -assisted suicide carry important implicationsfor how medicine seeds to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.Although it ruled

37、 that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medic al principle of “double effects , a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effectsagood one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen-is permissible if the

38、 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 increasingdosages will eventually kill the patient.Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that

39、 the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medication 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

40、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, " hesays. “We don't call those deathshomicides because the doctors didn't intend to kill their patients, althoug

41、h 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 m

42、odern 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 undertreatment of pain an

43、d 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

44、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 physici

50、erage of only 14 hours of lecture and tutorial time a week in Britain.Annual fees have rise n from&poun d;1,000 to $9,000 in the last decade. But con tact time at university has barely risen at all. And graduating doesn' t even provide any guara ntee of a dece nt job: six in ten graduates to

51、day are in non-graduate jobs.No won der it has become fashi on able to denounce many uni versities as little more that elaborate com-tricks. There ' s a lot for students to complain about therepayment threshold for paying back loans will be frozen for five years, meaning that lower-paid graduals

52、 have to start repaying their loans, and maintenancegrants have been replaced by loans meaning that students from poorer backgrounds face higher debt tha n those with wealthier pare nts.Yet it still pays to go to university. If goingto university doesn ' t work out,stude nts pay very little if a

53、ny of their tuiti on fees back, you only startrepay ing whe n you are earning &poun d;21,000 a year. Almost half ofgraduates those who go on to earn less will have a portion of their debt writtenoff. It ' s not just the lectures and tutorials that are important. Education is the sum of what

54、stude nts teach each other in betwee n lectures and sem in ars. Stude nts do not merely ben efit while at uni versity, studies show they go on to be healthier and happier tha n non-graduates, and also far more likely to vote. Whatever your talents, it is extraord inarily difficult to get a leading j

Recruiters circle elite universities like vulturous兀鷹.Many top firms will not even look atapplicati ons from those who lack a , ., an upper-sec ond class degree, from an eliteuniversity.Students at universityalso meet those likely to be in leading

56、jobs in the future, forming con tacts for life. This might not be right, but school-leavers who fail to ack no wledge as much risk maki ng the wrong decisi on about going to uni versity.Perhaps the reason why so many universities offer their students so little is they know studying at a top universi
