Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingForeword/postscript

Abstract

How should a pharmacist respond when a patient presents a prescription requesting dispensing of a medication the use of which clashes with the pharmacist’s personal beliefs? What should be the appropriate role of a pharmacist in a state where the legislature has authorized physicians to prescribe medications to hasten the death of a terminally ill patient? Should a pharmacist participate in preparing lawfully distributed medications to be used to carry out a court-ordered execution of a criminal?.
