I believe it to be morally wrong to force a doctor to refer someone to another doctor to perform a procedure that he does not believe would be in the best interest of the patient. Individuals have always been able to seek a second opinion on medical procedures without being referred by the first doctor. The CPSA should not be forcing doctors to accept CPSA's ethical or moral views or lack thereof.
