Didacus Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Patient can demand help --- no way To that I agree, but that is not the question. The question is help is asked (reasonable), help can be given (by the doctor) but what is being asked conflicts with the doctor's morals. Should the doctor be able to say "No I cannot help you with that because it goes against my beliefs." or is the doctor's morals of no consequence, and should help no matter what. Personally, I believe that the safe keeping of one's soul is more important and takes precedant and thus the morals of the doctor should take precedant over whatever help is asked. So if a doctor does not believe in blood transfusions, he should not be forced to perform them or assist in them if his legitimate morals teach against them.

[right][snapback]854672[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I thank you for asking..each day now my ability to accomplish one or two pieces of work is increasing.I still feel like running away my mother's death echoes her words..see....just say.."it takes one to know one".. some days I remember how nice it is when coughing and hacking on the subway and someone offers a cough candy...or when suddenly I startle in the middle of a sidewalk and stand in a stupour wondering where I am and what am I doing..and someone stops and asks.. are you all right..and I remember why I'm there becauseof it. Thanks..how sad it was to read the dictionary and find that commoner and peasant both mean harlot..and all those years of being called..those dirty poor people..and that Wales.means land of the heathen...so according to Websters..I must be a dirty cheap whore from the land of heathen... missing her telling me to shore up with her intonation of melo drama.. Oh CAMILLE.. my dreams are troubled from another culture long ago so I don't know who I am. again thankyou.
Didacus Posted February 13, 2006 Author Posted February 13, 2006 I saw my father this weekend (yesterday actually) and I finally got a reply from him. He clearly states that according to law here in Canada a doctor can be taken to court for refusing to prescribe an abortion for a woman. On the other, morality clearly stated that abortions should not be endorsed. when I asked him which whould be followed he clearly and bluntly said; morality. comes first. My sister was there... but of course she stayed silent. I think she is pro-abort but does not want to openly say so to certain family memebers who are pro-life.
