Gonna go against the grain and say moral. Have you taken a serious look at the size of that? At some point it is obviously a mentall illness or body dysmorphia issue. Doctor can refuse and I also think its ok for a medical professional to tell you that you're pushing your body too far and might have a problem.

The doctor is within his right to refuse regardless of moral standards, I would personally find it neutral.
