killing a person is at odds with their hippocratic oath.

I think you need to review what that oath entails. Because it does not include not killing someone. It is about doing the least amount of harm… and there are some harms that are much worse than death.

Friend, I explicitly say i don't agree at the beginning of the next paragraph.

I understand a person feeling that killing a person is at odds with their hippocratic oath. I understand a person feeling that killing a person in any situation is a sin.

I don't personally agree, but I see where they are coming from.

and there are some harms that are much worse than death.

Friend, I agree, but they think they are sending patients to hell by killing them before they convert.
