Where do you think the line is drawn between a physicians obligation to act and their right to their own conscience? For example if a pediatrician believed that childhood immunizations were too risky would they be allowed to deny them to children whose parents requested them. I use this example because they are so commonly accepted as a reasonable medical procedure while also remaining somewhat controversial. In a similar way abortions, though controversial, seem to be a commonly accepted medical procedure within that medical field. The two examples seem related to me and are separated mostly by the scale of the controversy. Does the amount of public outcry matter? Or is a physician always allowed to deny treatment on moral grounds?
