Tips for Traveling With Your Parents

Many of us have fond memories of traveling with our parents as children, which makes going on vacation with them as adults much more special. 36 . But depending on your parents' age, health, and preferences, going away together can also bring challenges. Here are tips to help make sure everyone has a good time.

Find a point person.

37 . It's best when there is a single point person for planning who becomes the advocate for all members of the travel party. If mobility is an is sue, try planning with Accessible GO, a platform that enables travelers to search by city or interest for wheelchair-friendly activities.

Build in options.

____38 . Being aware of each traveler's fitness and activity level is crucial in designing a route. For example,start with a slow-paced activity that everyone can enjoy, such as wine tasting,and have more-energetic activities like hiking. 39 . Consider buying insurance.

Emergencies—such as a missed flight or lost luggage—can happen at any age,so it's wise to invest in travel insurance. Many policies cover medical emergencies as well as everyday travel mishaps(小事故）. 40 . Some insurance supplements even arrange air medical transfers to the traveler's hospital of choice.

A. Be optional.

B. It's a chance to return the favor.

C.Make sure those who get ill are well attended to.

D. As our parents are aging,they should not travel alone.

E. Be sure to do your homework as some policies are better than others.

F. Having one person in charge can significantly minimize stress and confusion.

G. The most important thing is striking a balance between activities and free time to ensure that no one gets exhausted.

What happens when the right to know comes up against the right not to know? The ease of genetic testing has brought this question to light. Two ___41___ legal cases – one in Britain, the other in Germany – stand to alter the way medicine is practised.

Both cases involve Huntington’s disease (HD), whose ___42___ include loss of co-ordination (协调), mood changes and cognitive (认知的) decline. It develops between the ages of 30 and 50, and is eventually fatal. Every child of an ___43___ parent has a 50% chance of inheriting it.

In the British case, ___44___ for trial at the High Court in London in November, a woman known as ABC – to protect the ___45___ of her daughter, who is a minor – is charging a London hospital, St. George’s Healthcare NHS Trust, for not ___46___ her father’s diagnosis of HD with her. ABC was pregnant at the time of his diagnosis, in 2009. She argues that had she been aware of it, she would have stopped the pregnancy. As it was, she found out only after giving birth to her daughter. She later tested ___47___ for HD.

The German case is in some ways the mirror image of the British one. Unlike in Britain, in Germany the right not to know genetic information is protected in law. ___48___, in 2011 a doctor informed a woman that her divorced husband – the doctor’s patient – had tested positive for HD. This meant their two children were ___49___ the disease. She accused the doctor, who had acted with his patient’s permission. Both children being minors at the time, they could not legally be tested for the disease, which, as the woman’s lawyers pointed out, is currently ___50___. They argued that she was therefore helpless to act on the information, and ___51___ suffered a reactive depression that prevented her from working.

Both cases test a legal grey area. If the right to know is ___52___ recognized in Britain later this year, that may remove some uncertainties, but it will also create new ones. To what lengths should doctors go to track down and inform family members, ___53___?

It is the law’s job to ___54___ these rights for the modern age. When the law falls behind technology, somebody often pays the price, and currently that somebody is ___55___. As these two cases demonstrate, they find themselves in a difficult situation – charged if they do, accused if they don’t.
