1- Are there any actions that would violate your conscience as a (future) healthcare practitioner and that you would refuse to perform or participate in?

1- Are there any actions that would violate your conscience as a (future) healthcare practitioner and that you would refuse to perform or participate in?

2- According to the moral principle of cooperation with evil, when someone participates in the "evil" or immoral actions of another person, they become indirect accomplices in this act. For example, according to this principle, giving a gun to someone you know will use this gun to go kill someone would be a "cooperation" on your part in the killing. Similarly, knowingly buying stolen goods is a "cooperation" in the theft. Finally, pharmacists who believe that contraception is immoral would consider that filling a prescription for a contraceptive for a patient would implicate them in what they deem to be an immoral action of another person; and this violates their conscience. If a pharmacist holds this belief, would you still ask or expects them to violate their conscience?

If you say no, and you wouldn't ask the pharmacist to fill the prescription, do you think this could impact the health of the patient negatively?


If you say yes, and you expect the pharmacist to fill the prescription, is it because you disagree with the principle of cooperation with evil? Or is it because you think that pharmacists should be forced to violate their conscience because of their job? Or is it for other reasons?
