Perhaps a maximally extended life expectancy is of higher value to you than living in a society where doctors do not leave curable patients to die if they cannot pay for the required treatment out of their own pockets. But there is nothing irrational in deciding otherwise.
也许对你个人来讲，最大限度的延长寿命比医生不放弃那些病情尚可医治、但却无钱医治的病人更为重要。但如果做出相反的决策也情有可原。这最终取决于对价值的判断¾这只是社会在现代医疗领域需要做出的多种价值判断之一。现代医疗的技术能力越强、成本越昂贵，这一价值判断引发的争议也就越多。
