On medical conscience

I recently found very insightful paper on medical conscience written by Oderberg. Author begins his paper with an analysis of the analogy between medical conscience and conscientious objection in wartime, and then he examines various possible grounds for distinguishing between medicine and other professional contexts. I strongly recommend this paper for those interested in topic on medical conscience.

"The vigorous legal and ethical debates over conscientious objection have taken place largely within the domain of health care. Is this because conscience in medicine is of a special kind, or are there other reasons why it tends to dominate these debates?" More at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31405364
