If they have moral reservations about their job, they should get a different job. From the modern Hippocratic Oath:<BR/><BR/>"Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God." <BR/><BR/>In my view, this means doctors have the responsibility to sometimes take a "life" and doctors should not try to play God and judge people's choices.Jessica Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292673359340880392noreply@blogger.com
