Question ID:PT8 S4 Q7 Passage:Derek: We must exploit available resources in developing effective anticancer drugs such as the one made from mature Pacific yew trees. Although the yew population might be threatened, the trees should be harvested now, since an effective synthetic version of the yew’s anticancer chemical could take years to develop. Lola: Not only are mature yews very rare, but most are located in areas where logging is prohibited to protect the habitat of the endangered spotted owl. Despite our eagerness to take advantage or a new medical breakthrough, we should wait for a synthetic drug rather than threaten the survival of both the yew and the owl, which could have far-reaching consequences for an entire ecosystem. Stem:Lola’s position most closely conforms to which one of the following principles? Correct Answer Choice:EChoice A:Unless people’s well-being is threatened, there should be no higher priority than preserving endangered plant and animal populations. Choice B:Medical researchers should work with environmentalists to come to an agreement about the rate of the Pacific yew and the spotted owl. Choice C:Environmental concerns should play a role in decisions concerning medical research only if human lives are not at stake. Choice D:Only medical breakthroughs that could save human lives would justify threatening the environment. Choice E:Avoiding actions that threaten an entire ecosystem takes precedence over immediately providing advantage to a restricted group of people.
