29. If the pharmacist does not like me and will not sell me medicine that
may save my child's life, do I still not have the right to impose my beliefs on her/him?

Where do you draw the line?

This is why we have seperation of church and state, and laws governing the distribution of medicines:

To prevent religious fundamentalist nutcases from hurting people with their superstitions.

Some of these people let their kids die rather than take them to the doctor because of their religious beliefs.

Is that OK too? Do they have the right to let their children die?

Where do you draw the line?
