lsat 1- 18

18.    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.

I just have no idea.

我做这道题时用排除法，一道一道的排除，没有什么其它的好办法。不知道其它人怎么做？

对啊，只能这样了，答案是什么，我觉得应该是D.a因为是麻醉的，不存在pain，b,c很可能解释了杀狗的正当性，e显然杀狗并不是with the sole intention of causing the death of a living thing。

答案好像应该是B吧。

对了，sanzzy 用的是哪个版本的LSAT？我发现你问的很多问题其实以前都有讨论过。有些解释的很好的。比如这道题就有讨论过。不过，根据你的标题 lsat 1- 18找，我的ELSAT上面section 1 No18 不是这道题目。所以无法帮你找链接。

反正我是一定看过前人有解释的。

八戒

答案是B，

很怪异！

我也是一头雾水！

不过我发现LSAT喜欢用双重否定来做答案！
后来就直接干脆看双重否定的选项，呵........

期待nnGG们解答

18.   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休克. 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.
是有目的：observe the physiological consequences of shock 观察休克
(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.
没有提到其他动物是否会遭受这样的实验
(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.
M还不是工作了的兽医，她是学生（B）
(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.
她做实验的目的不是为了让这条狗死亡
