Conscientious objection and its repercussion in public health care

Abstract

Conscientious objection, initially limited to the military service has gradually multiplied its varieties. Agreat number of hypotheses exists in the sanitary field in such a way that this will be the supreme core of conflicts between conscientiousness and law in the near future. Each medical field has its own specific hypotheses in relation to conscientious objection. The spread of the phenomenon has unleashed juridical debate about the nature of the right to conscientious objection, and the suitability of its standardization by varieties. There is some confusion about the concept of this juridical figure, and at the same time we all agree on the fact that a society well be better and fairer if its members exert effort in respecting the conscientiousness and do not oblige heroism, especially to people whit more moral sensitivity. In not few occasions, we, paediatricians become aware of that, when an isolated case appears, which sometimes needs an urgent response. The concept of conscientious objection is meant to be analyzed in this review propose some hypotheses in the sanitary field, revise its juridical framework and attain a brief ethic analysis.
