I would agree with you that a pharmacist should not be allowed, based solely on his/her morals, to decide whether or not to dispense a legally written prescription. Personally, I would extend that to physicians as well.

But since responsibility seems to follow liability in this country, I think they should have the right to refuse to fill a prescription that they suspect to be dangerous to a patient.

One issue that I run into a lot where I work is how different pharmacies/pharmacists handle dispensation of pain meds in patients with chronic pain. Often there is an escalation of dosing, leading some pharmacists to suspect abuse.

This issue is much more tricky in my mind.
