Code of Medical Ethics and Deontology

41_ CODE OF MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY - VIII CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION Article 34.1 Conscientious objection is the doctor's right to be exempted from compliance with constitutional or legal duties if such compliance is contrary to their own convictions. Article 34.2 The recognition of conscientious objection concerns each doctor individually and is a guarantee of freedom and independence in their professional practice. A collective or institutional conscientious objection is not admissible since, apart from distorting this right, can harm the general care provision function. The objection of someone who has no direct intervention in the act, which is the object of the objection, is not admissible either. 8
