A new аntibiоtic tо treаt а sexually-transmitted disease has just becоme available for use (and has no other appropriate uses). A pharmacist has strong religious convictions against sex outside of marriage, and they feel the antibiotic encourages this type of behavior. However, the pharmacist also feels it is their professional duty to fill these prescriptions as long as they are legal and medically appropriate. The pharmacist decides to fill the valid prescriptions for this antibiotic. What approach to managing issues of conscience does this pharmacist follow?
