Description
What should a clinician do when a patient asks for a legal medical intervention to which the physician has a religious or other moral objection? There is much debate as to whether or not it is ethical for the clinician to refuse what the patient seeks. Do such refusals impose a physician’s personal values on what should be strictly professional decisions?
