Steve Hambleton: Objection rights | Medical Journal of Australia

What incredibly hypocrisy! Steve Hambleton of the Australian Medical Association (AMA) wants to ensure that doctors have the right to be conscientious objectors to certain procedures they disagree with, but continues to deny that SAME right to the parents of Australia.

A conscientious objection is based on sincerely held beliefs and moral concerns, not self-interest or discrimination.

While we may not always share the same beliefs and moral concerns as a colleague, every doctor’s personal views and values should be respected. A doctor who has a conscientious objection should not be treated unfairly or discriminated against.
