The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.
Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of "double effects" a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects — a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen- is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.

Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that A. doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients’ pain B. it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives C. the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide D. patients have no constitutional right to commit suicide
[单项选择]The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Monday to let stand a ruling in an online defamation case will make it more difficult to determine correct legal jurisdictions in other Internet eases, legal experts said. By opting not to take the case, the high court effectively endorsed a lower court’s decision that a Colorado company that posts ratings of health plans on the Internet could be sued for defamation in a Washington court. The lower court ruling is one of several that makes it easier for plaintiffs to sue Web site operators in their own jurisdictions, rather than where the operators maintain a physical presence. The case involved a defamation suit filed by Chehalis, Wash.-based Northwest Healthcare Alliance against Lakewood, Colo. -based Healthgrades.com. The Alliance sued in Washington federal court after Healthgrades. com posted a negative ranking of Northwest Healthcare’s home health services on the Internet. Healthgrades. com argued that it should not be subject to the ju A. uncertainties exist about validity of Web sites. B. solutions to legal problems are far from clear. C. the Supreme Court’s decision is ambiguous. D. Internet legal borders are still left unmarked.
