The United States has embarked on a dangerous course. When the right of healthcare workers to refuse participation in certain procedures based on conscience is denied, we have started down the path of preparing rightminded, conscience-driven people to abandon ethical practice and in some situations to become killers. Anytime people are forced to act against what they believe to be right and coerced to do what they consider to be wrong, a very treacherous gulf has been crossed. When the right of conscience is removed from healthcare workers, we will have healthcare workers without conscience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
