You're going full pelt into the business/economic side and completely dismissing the ethical base to which all doctors and indeed medical staff are subject to, which again, to keep re-iterating, supersedes any personal ethical or moral views and beliefs.
I don't find your junk pseudo business discourse very compelling either. So go figure.
Your position seems to be that healthcare is a fundamental right(please correct me if I am wrong).....that those who provide it should do so without any question or qualms. Well sex is a fundamental right....does that mean we can force people to have sex with each other because they should be doing so anyways without any questions or qualms? Of course not. Why? Because even though you can provide a service which is a fundamental right to everyone, you always retain the right of self determination. You always retain the right to refuse...for any reason...and people should not hate you when you do.
