Please Don't Make Me Kill You!

Actually, the headline on this item isn't a joke. The culture of death is so warmly embraced in our culture that I can imagine a Catholic nurse pleading with a patient with just those words. Note the hint of disdain in this report that nurses and doctors might be "sheltered" from having to kill somebody:

"More than a dozen states are considering new laws to protect health workers who do not want to provide care that conflicts with their personal beliefs, a surge of legislation that reflects the intensifying tension between asserting individual religious values and defending patients' rights.
About half of the proposals would shield pharmacists who refuse to fill prescriptions for birth control and 'morning-after' pills because they believe the drugs cause abortions. But many are far broader measures that would shelter a doctor, nurse, aide, technician, or other employee who objects to any therapy. That might include in-vitro fertilization, physician-assisted suicide, embryonic stem cells, and perhaps even providing treatment to gays and lesbians."

I am morally opposed to all of the measures cited above, except for providing health care treatment to gays and lesbians. Should somebody be forced to do them?
