They're not legally required to be doctors. They have a right to quit their job. Do you think requiring Christian strippers to strip is a violation of their rights?It''s trivially easy for me to imagine such a scenario. I've done it in this thread. No, they're not legally required to be doctors - but they don;t simply waive their rights -by becoming doctors-. I think that stripping, as a christian, is a violation of ones own religious values - but who cares? There aren't exactly rights strictly delineated about when/where/why someone can take off or put back on articles of clothing.
Quote:I'm sorry, love, you're going to have to dumb it down for me because I don't think I understand what you're trying to say.If we insist that doctors somehow can waive (or should waive) their rights for the priveledge of being a doctor we have little ground to claim that another person may not waive another right (my slavery example) for the exact same reason. Rights are foundational, fundamental to law. Everything flows from them. I'm not interested in special pleading, or discretional application - when it comes to rights. We either have them or we don't. They are either "sacrosanct" or they are not. All of them, together - for the same reasons...and lets make em good ones.
-or-
Maybe liberty is a right, and religious expression is just a strongly worded suggestion (or vice versa).
I'm trying to point out that some posters are treating one right differently then they are treating other rights. That in this thread - religious expression can be (and ought to be) waived by doctors...but no one is willing to entertain the man who waives his rights and sells himself into slavery. Better?
