        　　Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in
contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not
necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not
necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time
find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and
an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it
interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of
their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers,
the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept
of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the
health and safety of the old.
        　　Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it
needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this
comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that
such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what
point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push
off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind
and to activate(激活) the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot
ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the
technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the
principle that while there's life, there's hope.
        　　When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion
that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than
it does on your ability to have fun.

        　　B. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
        　　C. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people
