Ethical Responsibility

According to Los Angeles Times three pharmacists refused to fill prescriptions for Anna Nicole Smith before her death of a drug overdose.  The report states that a pharmacist contacted the internist and said that he had no intention of filling a prescription that amounted to "pharmaceutical suicide". 

It is nice to see a report that highlights the ethical responsibility of pharmacists in making the right decisions in refusing to fill unsafe prescriptions.
