Preferences Vary on Circumstances of Dying
Among terminally (晚期) ill people, attitudes differ on what they think constitutes a
____51____ or bad death, the results of a new study suggest.
Dr. Elizabeth. K. Vig of the University of Washington in Seattle and colleagues interviewed
26 men with ____52____ heart disease or cancer. The men were asked to describe good and
bad deaths, and they also answered ____53____ about their preferences for dying. "In this
small study, terminally ill men described good and bad deaths ____54____," Vig said.
"They did not hold the same views about such issues ____55 ____the presence of others at
the very end of life or preferred location of death."
Many of the men considered ____56____ in their sleep to be a good death. The reasons
were varied and included not ____57____ that death was imminent (即將發(fā)生的), and that
death would be painless. For close to half of the men, a prolonged (拖延的) death was
____58____ a bad death. Some of the men associated a prolonged death with prolonged
pain,____59____ others thought a prolonged death would be difficult for their families.
Most men said that their ____60____ were very important to them, but this did not mean
that they wanted elatives close at the ____61 ____of death. "Valuing family did not also
____62____ wanting family present at the very end of life," Vig said, "In fact, some
expressed concerns ____63____ burdening loved ones." For instance, some men were
worded about the emotional or ____64____ impact on their family members, according to
the Washington researcher some were worded ____65____ their need for care would be a
burden on their families.
