Religion to be taken out of health care?
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Motivation
Are you supportive of chapels inside those high-tech hospitals? Millions of patients and family members are, and it gives them a place to find some semblance of pece in those difficult hours.There are some religious leaders, however, than want to take religion out of the health care arena, and they have started to take on the Catholic Church, the U.S. Supreme Court and the Bush administration to do just that.
Are religious beliefs interfering with personal rights? How about when it comes to health care in this country in general? With the outlawing of certain types of abortions by the U.S. Supreme Court last week, this kind of movement was bound to happen soon. And, it did.
What is your position?

Just as is there is no atheist in foxholes, the same probably applies to those going under the knife... you don't need any particular church or structure to talk to god.

I personally am not religious nor have I used a chapel in the hospital any of the numerous times my son has had a surgery or hospitalization. With that being said it also doesn't bother me that it is in the hospital. Some people need that quiet area to get away and reflect. I think it should definately be kept in the hospital for those that it helps. For those who don't want to go there don't. It's not like anyone is forced through the chapel before than can be released.
Now what I do find rather annoying is the chaplin walking into my pre-surgical room and saying I see the little one is having surgery today...Well we'll pray for him. Do you want to pray together? Maybe there should be a question on the admissions paperwork that asks religious preferences be it any other religion other than Christianity or not religious at all so that when we are approached by caring people they can do it in a better manner.
