Conscientious objection in the healing professions: a readers' guide to the ethical and social issues
(One Health: Information in an Interdependent World. Medical Library Association Annual Meeting and Exhibition; 2013 May 6-8; Boston, MA. http://www.mlanet.org/am/am2013/, 2013-05-07) Odell, Jere D.; Comer, Amber (Malcolm); Rua, Avril N.; Abhyankar, Rahul
What is a health care provider to do when they find that their moral integrity is at odds with professional expectations? Should a nurse with religious objections to assisted reproduction be asked to stop working in obstetrics and gynecology? Can a pharmacist with moral objections to emergency contraception refer a patient to a colleague without being complicit in a perceived moral wrong doing? Should religious organizations be required to provide or pay for objectionable health services? When is a patient's health and well-being more important than a professional's moral integrity? Here we: 1) describe a collaboration between a medical librarian and the Indiana University (IU) Conscience Project 2) outline the subject of conscientious objection in the healing professions, and 3) introduce a new readers' guide on the topic.
