I am sorry but if you are unable or unwilling to carry out the job functions (and all of the job functions), then you should be replaced with someone who will.

Would it be acceptable for me to refuse to do any lifting of patients in my job as an EMT/ED Tech? Of course not. These are requirements, and they exist for a reason. If we allow pharmacists to pick and choose which medications they wish to dispense, then we allow them to ignore the rule of law. I hate to use the slippery slope argument, but what next? Refusing care to patients is what is morally wrong.
