No. In the first part of the Hippocratic oath it says [b]"I will abstain from all [c=BF0000]intentional wrong-doing[/c] and harm,"[/b] as a doctor, trying to practice medicine on what you think is "morally right and just" is just as irresponsible, we all know the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The most murderous tyrants in the world think that they what they do is right, everyone thinks they are right and that's what makes this so dangerous in regards to denying medical care.
Now I'm vaccinated so [b]don't get me wrong[/b] here, I don't want my words twisted on this platform. I DO think that people who refuse to be vaccinated and DON'T have a medical condition are irresponsible and unjust.
I'm not saying that I don't think they're not dangerous, it's been proven that polio has come back in certain countries because of anti vaccine dogma. That's not fair to the children who don't have money for medical care and someone's child has to be murdered because people refused to get a vaccine. That's irresponsible and dangerous.
However, I take upon the viewpoint that doctors HAVE to be better than other people in order to treat people from all walks of life. It doesn't matter who, it matters that you took an oath and that you are the bastion that people depend on. This also means being morally reliable. You can't let yourself become corrupt even if everyone around you is because you have a delicate balance to maintain as a doctor.
What if a Christian doctor denied a gay person an emergency surgery?
See, everyone would agree that's wrong and I would agree that it's without a doubt wrong but to the Christian who has legit (even if they're not really legit) arguments inside their own heads for not treating someone, well where does this end?
