Mary, a veterinary student, has been assigned an experiment in mammalian physiology that would require her to take a healthy, anesthetized dog and subject it to a drastic blood loss in order to observe the physiological consequences of shock. The dog would neither regain consciousness nor survive the experiment. Mary decides not to do this assignment.
Mary’s decision most closely accords with which one of the following principles?
(A) All other things being equal, gratuitously causing any animal to suffer pain is unjustified.
(B) Taking the life of an animal is not justifiable unless doing so would immediately assist in saving several animal lives or in protecting the health of a person.
(C) The only sufficient justification for experimenting on animals is that future animal suffering is thereby prevented.
(D) Practicing veterinarians have a professional obligation to strive to prevent the unnecessary death of an animal except in cases of severely ill or injured animals whose prospects for recovery are dim.
(E) No one is ever justified in acting with the sole intention of causing the death of a living thing, be it animal or human.
完全不知道切入点再哪？能帮分析一下这道题吗？

题目问这个女孩子为什么不愿意进行试验,即无痛苦地杀死那条狗. 她是基于下面什么原因而不肯这么做. 答案应该是B taking the life of an animal is not justifiable unless doing so would immediately assist in saving several animal lives or in protecting the health of a person.
A,D,E都涉及不相关内容或者out of scope. 而 C the only sufficient justification for experimenting on animals is that future animal suffering is thereby prevented 很有可能是试验的目的.同时the only...是个太极端的词.所以B应该是最好答案.

希望以后遇到这种题还是把答案附上,以便大家讨论,并避免造成误导.

这道题太隐讳了，如果不考虑到兽医有做兽医试验的必要这个必要前提，我很难想到要选B，我会选E.

还是不太明白为什么说D是out of scope？如果principle就是要求兽医阻止动物无必要的死亡，那Mary的decision不正好遵守了这个principle吗？

还请NN再指点一下，谢谢。

将它当作假设题作，就明白了。
