The right of conscience

Published by philber at 6:45 pm under culture and society, current events, medicine, philosophy, politics

I just wanted to highlight a new rule that the Department of Health and Human Services is considering implementing to protect the right of conscience for health care providers.

You can read more about it at The Center Blog, which my friend Isaac contributes to.

I think it is very important that the right of conscience, in general, and specifically in medicine, be preserved in the US. It is better to be free to live according to your conscience, and it would be nice to not have your medical license revoked simply because you are opposed to abortion or some other procedure.

    Although I’m personally pro-life, I’m politically pro-choice, but I also think that choice extends to doctors!
