It's the same as asking your Humakti not to kill people in a feud, pretty please with honey on top. You are not arguing with a person, you are arguing with their god (assuming they are a Devotee, and really, why be anything else with the extreme Gods?). Your character probably would *know* not to ask her not to heal your enemies - it's what her goddess tells her to do, just like Orlanth tells you to climb Kero Fin and jump off, or Yinkin tells you to sleep around. Everyone gets told by their god to do stuff that society thinks is a bit wierd - except Orlanth and Ernalda, who *define* society, and therefor what they ask of you is "normal", even if it might seem a bit extreme if looked at from a 21st century real-world perspective.
CA is as rigidly "pro-Life" as Humakt is "pro-Death" (or "pro-Separation", at least), and her followers are as determined (or stubborn) as any Humakti. Tell her not to do something her goddess says to do? Yeah, that'll go over well. But assuming your clan has a CA Healer, they will know what to ask and, more importantly, what not to ask her to do.
