I believe in God and an afterlife, and would like to discontinue future supplies if I can understand EHC to be unethical.
Can any pharmacists share their reasons for refusal of EHC supply? |
I personally have no problem with supply - but for the individual pharmacist it depends at what point they believe human life begins. If you believe that life begins with fertilisation then EHC may act to prevent a fertilised egg implanting or possibly expell an implanted egg. (we don't actually KNOW how it works)
If you decide against supply you are still obliged to signpost to another practitioner who will supply.. If you find that morally indefensible (as I would IF I thought EHC was wrong) then save your soul and find another profession.
