"In Belgium, euthanasia is embraced as an emblem of enlightenment and progress, a sign that the country has extricated itself from its Catholic, patriarchal roots. Distelmans, who was brought up as a Catholic and then rejected the Church, told me that his work is inspired by an aversion to all forms of paternalism. “Who am I to convince patients that they have to suffer longer than they want?” he said."
在比利時,安樂死被視為一種文明進步的象徵,逐漸擺脫其基督教的傳統. 從小就是基督徒,長大卻拒絕教堂的Distelmans 告訴我,厭惡所有形式的paternalism促成了他所做的事.
#"his work" 是指什麼?是指" rejected the Church"嗎?
#"Who am I to convince patients that they have to suffer longer than they want?" 每個字都看得懂,但合起來就不知道在說什麼@@....
