So far, all I know is that most of the world revered her and Hitchins didn't.

I understand that. Like I said, I'm waiting for the facts.

(For example, if you had a limited supply of pain medications, would you ration them to the most severly suffering?) But I don't know yet know the facts, so withhold judgment.

E asked a hypothetical question regarding how we should regard someone who, among other things, denied pain medication to a patient based on a presumed benefit in the afterlife. You answered with a discussion about moral judgment, which suggests that there might be a context where that behavior would be OK. I'm simply going on record to say it's not OK with me. Some of the other items that E listed might be OK in certain circumstances, but that one isn't.
