I said.. "so long as it is not HARMFUL to the client."

In both the case of the lawyer and doctor, harm is involved.

As far as the forced issue, I'm with you. No one should be forced to do anything along those lines. I just think it makes logical sense to avoid professions that COULD involve situations you aren't comfortable with.


Also, your analogy of the discriminatory business owner only proves my point. If he were to allow black people entry, but black people knew that the owner and, LIKELY, most of his patrons were bigots, then once again, everyone involved knows what might/could occur.

Still, no one is forced into doing anything. The black people in question can either choose to put up with it or head to another place. It's sickening to think that a place like this might exist, but as a private business owner, he has that right. He could deny them entry, for that matter. I'd hate his guts and would never give him any of my business, but it's his right.

People also have the right to be racist. And if a couple of black guys go into a place where known racists mingle, that's a choice they make.

And even for the black people in question, much like the doctors, I would say; You might want to think about doing something else.
