16. the "other" human's morality is presumed to be lacking
Thus the pharmacist must assert his superior ethics. Of course, it seems boneheaded for a business to allow its employees to become freelance activists. What a slippery slope! A gas station attendant could refuse to fill up SUVs on moral grounds. A cashier could refuse to sell you Twinkies. And a heart surgeon could surely refuse to do a triple bypass on, oh say, Dick Cheney.

It's not really morality; it's meddling in another's affairs.

I hope female activist pharmacists stop selling woody pills because it's the same rationale for not selling the morning after pill: if life at conception is sacred, thus pharmacists should - ethically - not sell pills for recreational ejaculation.
