Ted, > Let's assume you have not exaggerated the situation and doctors are "forced to do in vitro fertilization of lesbian couples", how is that imposing my morals on someone else...assuming I think its a good thing that lesbian couples should have in vitro? People who are against in vitro fertilization are not required to get it. Sigh, it's not the patients who are forced to get the in vitro procedure. It's the doctors who are forced to do it if a patient demands it. "This case was never about discrimination against patients on the basis of sexual choices; it was about discrimination against healthcare professionals on the basis of their sincerely held ethical standards." catholicnewsagency.com And here's the flip side of the argument: rhrealitycheck.org Now you tell me, who's values do you think should be imposed on whom? Do you think the patient has the right to any procedure he or she demands from any doctor, or do you think the doctor has the right to refuse based on moral grounds? The former answer would reflect an entitlement mentality, while the latter runs the risk of limiting anti-discrimination laws based on "sexual preference." Tenchusatsu
