Assignment:
Conscientious objection in health care settings is an ethical issue that is visited routinely. This entails care providers, and sometimes health care institutions, refusing to provide certain types of services or care to certain patients based on personal/organizational values, typically stemming from religious beliefs.
After reading the background materials and doing independent research, draft a paper that examines some of the ethical considerations surrounding conscientious objection in healthcare. Address this regarding objections both by individual providers as well as healthcare organizations. Be sure to discuss specific ethical principles in your assessment.
This should be a general discussion regarding conscientious objection and should not focus on any one particular issue, except as to use it as a BRIEF example. For example, this should not be a paper arguing for or against providing abortion services.
