Everyone accepts that conscientious refusal conflicts with the patient&#8217;s interests. The question is whether this particular type of failure to meet the patient&#8217;s interests can ever be ethically justifiable.

If a limited right to conscientious refusal is consistent with being a professional, then professional organizations that acknowledge such a right are not acting contrary to the purposes and roles of such organizations. What is needed to support de Melo-Martin&#8217;s position is an argument that conscientious refusals never, or at least hardly ever, override a patient&#8217;s interests, and de Melo-Martin does not provide this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong C. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/15265160701347445\">Conscientious Objection the Morning After (Conscientious Objection and Emergency Contraception)<\/a>.
