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. Suppose the person came knowing that was the philosophy, and agreeing to it. Suppose that person made a choice to come to this place for treatment rather than another place which would give all the pain medication the person wanted. Assume it was a conscious, reasoned choice. (Assuming people of faith can reason, which E might challenge, but I don't think you do.) In that case, would it be okay with you? Not saying that happened. Just saying we need facts. Complete facts, not partial facts.
