A physician with or without moral integrity?

No-one wants a doctor without moral integrity. But we do not agree about the nature of morality except perhaps that we ought not to do to others what we do not wish to be done to us. No-one therefore has the right to destroy the moral integrity of another person, including the moral integrity of the physician. In a rights based society with patient-centered practices of medicine, it is the duty of a democracy to protect every view of morality, both of patients and of medical practitioners who have moral or religious objections to particular treatments and services.
