Re: OT- Doctors and moral beliefs | |
I'm struggling to think of examples of faith conflicting with modern medicine outside the issue of reproduction. Technically speaking, a vasectomy wouldn't be performed in a Catholic hospital like Mercy (or at least I wouldn't think it would). There's the lone example for men I can come up with (oh boy!)
I guess it could quickly become and issue in terms of stem cell treatments for a variety of ailments - should they become available.
That's a hot topic issue regarding beliefs, that is similar in nature to the pro-life/abortion fight, but doesn't involve a woman's right to choose.
