As I'm reading through the 42 page document, I notice that there's a bit in the text about "encouraging workplace diversity" by allowing persons who would have moral objections to medical procedures to enter the medical workforce. It's like a militant vegan being encouraged to work at a sausage factory--and then the vegan refuses to clean the grinder, on the grounds that more sausage would be produced--and the vegan *can't* be fired for failure to perform zer job requirements, because so firing would be discriminatory, don'tcha know.

I don't have a problem with people who wouldn't want to do certain things to not take the job in the first place. Re-defining terms on a 30+ year old piece of legislation seems rather arbitrary and suspicious both.
