Is it wrong for doctors to lie about their patients' illnesses? Aren't doctors
just like any other people we hire to do a job for us? Surely, we would not
tolerate not being told the truth about the condition of our automobile from
the mechanic we hired to fix it, or the condition of our roof from the
carpenter we employed to repair it. Just as these workers would be guilty of
violating their good faith contracts with us if they were to do this, doctors
who lie to their patients about their illnesses violate these contracts as well,
and this is clearly wrong. The conclusion of the argument is best expressed
by which of the following?
1. Doctors who lie to their patients about their illnesses ...........violate
their good faith contracts with their patients.
2. Doctors often lie to their patients about their illnesses.
3. Doctors are just hired workers like mechanics and ...........carpenters.
4. It is wrong for doctors to lie about their patients' ...........illnesses.
5. Doctors, like mechanics and carpenters, enter into good ...........faith
contracts with us when we hire them.
