Description
Conscientious Objection in Medicine provides a comprehensive analysis of one of bioethics’ most contentious issues. Mark Wicclair systematically explores the moral foundations, practical implications, and policy considerations surrounding healthcare providers who refuse to deliver certain medical services based on deeply held ethical or religious convictions.
The book examines key scenarios including abortion, contraception, assisted dying, and other morally contested treatments. Wicclair balances the moral interests of healthcare providers with patients’ rights to access care, considering how medical institutions and legal frameworks should address these conflicts.
As part of the Elements in Bioethics and Neuroethics series, this work provides accessible yet rigorous treatment of conscientious objection’s philosophical foundations and real-world applications in contemporary medicine. It serves as an essential resource for medical professionals, ethicists, policymakers, and students grappling with the intersection of personal morality and professional obligation.
