Conscientious Objection in Health Care: An Ethical Analysis
Historically associated with military service, conscientious objection has become a significant phenomenon in health care. Download Conscientious Objection in Health Care medical books for free.
Mark Wicclair offers a comprehensive ethical analysis of conscientious objection in three representative health care professions: medicine, nursing and pharmacy. He critically examines two extreme positions: the 'incompatibility thesis', that it is contrary to the professional obligations of practitioners to refuse provision of any service within the scope of their professional competence; and 'conscience absolutism', that they should be exempted from performing any action contrary to their conscience. He argues for a compromise approach that accommodates conscience-based refusals within the limits of specified ethical constraints.
