I know that you can't imagine that such an association might find a way to exist - but your standard allows it to. A failure of imagination does not support a point.
I still don't agree with your point. This isn't a club of a hobby that someone might find objectionable. This is standards of healthcare, something that we need. A service that's as vital as medicine needs to have strict standards that everyone operating in the field needs to follow. I still don't think you can compare medicine to any sort of objectionable club or organization. I'd even go so far as to say it's unique in its neccesity, and thus needs strongly observed standards.
