As a doctor, you see moral relativity vis-a-vis death all the time. Giving a raped woman a Morning After pill. Aborting a three week preganancy. Aborting an 18 week pregnancy. Performing a partial birth abortion at 26 weeks on a gravely deformed fetus. Giving a terminal cancer victim all the morphine she wants, and enough to end her pain if that's what she decides. I have a relative who works in a hospice, I have a relative who works in a woman's hospital, I know what they talk about, I know what they do. Life is sacred, but doctors don't prolong all life at all costs, do they? Did you quit being a doctor because you can't handle moral ambiguity? Ambiguity is hard, that's why we need ethicists. Lawyers have ethicists, I think doctors do, too.
