中译英

1 不少病入膏肓者为了求得解脱往往要求医生使用致命药物；也有些病人家属觉得彻底治愈病人已经无望，因此要求医生不要对病人再进行保命式的治疗。最近，“安乐死”这一问题在欧洲国家已酿成一场激烈的大争论。

Quite a few terminally ill patients ask their doctors to use lethal/deadly drugs to them to be relieved of suffering.There are some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is hopeless to cure.This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries.

2 反对者认为“安乐死”无异于谋杀，是不符合伦理道德的。而倡导者则认为，既然病人自己觉得生不如死，干吗不让它们以一种体面、人道的方式结束自己的生命呢？我们应该尊重病人的最终选择。

Those who are opposed to‘Euthanasia’believe that it is no different from murder and that it is unethical,while the pro-euthanasists contend/believe that since the incurably patients consider their existence more of a torment and suffering,why not let them end their lives in a decent and humane way?We ought to respect the patients final decision.

3. 人们对于“安乐死”可能被人滥用，或不必要使用的担心不无道理，但只要政府和有关方面措施得力，医院严格控制，这个问题最终或许可以得到解决。

The fear/worry that‘mercy killing’will be abused or used unnecessarily is not groundless.But with effective measures rigorously taken by the government and the departments concerned,and under tightly controlled conditions in hospitals,this problem would most probably be resolved in the end.
