    Another scenario

    Imagine this scenario: A man shopping in Target stops by the pharmacy to get his prescription for Lipotor (a cholesterol lowering drug) filled. The pharmacist refuses to fill it, stating that it�s against his principles to do so. He explains to the man: you�re overweight; you�ve got fatty foods and cigarettes in your shopping cart. If you can�t be bothered to live the life you should in order to remain healthy, I�m not going to support that choice by giving you a drug that allows you to circumvent a healthy lifestyle.

    I have a feeling that pharmacist would be fired.
