    Doctor told the parents:

    "After much prayer following your prenatal (visit), I felt that I would not be able to develop the personal patient doctor relationship that I normally do with my patients."

    I'll save you the gotcha moment--yes, she could be a Muslim. Regardless, her actions were not Christ-like.

    She's religious, if nothing else. I assumed she was Christian.

    It doesn't matter what religion she belongs to, her actions were not justified.

    An unsaved liar, fornicator or homo needs the gospel just like all heathens do, and the gospel is NOT, do this or that then God will accept you. :) We are to love them all, if a homo claims to be a Christian, that's a whole different department, he or she needs to be shown their sin with scripture and repentance should be expected. :)

    All of you are talking out of ignorance.

    No one is refusing to treat a child. She is refusing to be the family doctor, or pediatrician or whatever for lesbian "parents."

    In an emergency room, I have no doubt the doctor you're crucifying would treat the child.

    Sheesh! Or should I say, Sheep! Develop some critical thinking skills why dontchya?

    If a patient contacted a surgeon to have a sex change operation and the surgeon declined to do the surgery should the government force the surgeon to mutilate healthy organs under threat of suspending his license to practice medicine?

    Of course! According to those here, it wouldn't be Christ-like to deny service.

    Don't worry. I'm sure the doctor will have her license yanked. That will teach people to be honest about the level of depth they feel they can provide to clients.
    Doctors will have licenses yanked if their personal convictions conflict with lifestyle choices. Bakers will bake those cakes or be fined into oblivion, elderly women will be out of business for not making floral arrangements. And their children or grandchildren will be removed from their homes so they can beplaced in the new Pride School opening up in Atlanta so they'll grow up without those terrible thoughts that they don't want to be directly involved in that lifestyle.

    BB is full of headline grabbers. It often surprises folks to find out what's really in their own links.


    ETA, not usually the case with the author of the O/P.

    Sex change operations aren't just a snip, snap, and a stitch. Doctors have to specialize in surgical techniques like this. I can only assume that surgeons who DO actively purse training in these types of surgeries have no problems with the immoral nature the motivates it.

    Family doctors don't have these types of specializations.

    Apples and oranges.

    Unless the patient asks his family doctor for a referral to such a surgeon.

    If a person is going to ask his or her family doctor for a referral for someone to perform a sex change operation, then that family doctor has already been giving this patient hormone replacement therapy and is already in the know about what this person is doing.

    If they have told their patient that they do not administer hormones for sex changes and has refused to be a part of the process, then the patient isn't going to ask them for a surgeon referral.

    My gynecologist doesn't perform abortions. His patients know that. He doesn't refuse patients on account of any moral issue, but he does refuse to perform abortions.

    He would never refuse to add a woman to his patient list just because she is a lesbian or unwed mother or adulterer or obese or a chain smoker .......

    Myself, I while I may disagree with her, I appreciate how honest she was with the "parents".

    I was talking about the initial consultation a patient would have with his doctor about a SCO.

    Despite the gargantuan presumption in this quote, but . . .

    so? Answer the question.

    Again . . .

    So? Answer the question.

    So?

    I would. In fact, putting the infant with lesbian "parents" is child abuse. I would work to have the child taken away.

    I did.

    The question was asked if the government should force a surgeon to perform a sex change operation on his or her patient or have his or her license revoked.

    The answer is obviously no, but that is not going to happen. Sex reassignment surgery is very complex and not the average surgeon can just blindly and never having done it before do so without killing the patient.

    If a surgeon has had this training, he or she must be OK with it all.

    Let's just hypothetically say that a orthopedic surgeon who specializing in joint replacements was asked by an orthopedic patient to give him a sex reassignment surgery.

    And let's just hypothetically say that the doctor said no, that is was against his moral principles.

    And let's just hypothetically say that the patient sued his orthopedic surgeon won and the surgeon was forced to do the surgery or lose his medical license.

    The patient will die on the operating table.

    What if the surgeon that had the training has a change of heart? They would possess the proper training. Should they be forced to perform the procedure?

    No, they should not be forced to do any procedure where that procedure in and of itself is against their principles.

    Hopefully, if that happened and a surgeon trained in that area had a change of heart for sake of holiness, they would make the announcement to their clientele that they are out of the sex changing business.

    But yet you think a doctor should see a lesbian led family even if it is against their principles?
