Only when it is an unnecessary unreasonable burden on an employer or patient should a care provider be required to go against a deep personal religious or spiritual belief to provide a necessary service to a patient or client.

It is this type of neglect and abuse they must endure that leads to such shortages of willing care providers.

> Most care providers will do anything asked of them for the well being of the patients they are providing care to. However, it is abuse, in my opinion, to ask them to sacrifice even more, their soul and personal belief system that makes them a person willing to provide care, if it is not necessary to do so.
