should a healthcare provider be permitter to refuse medical procedures if it is against their religious beliefs?
You must explain to patients if you have a conscientious objection to a particular procedure. You must tell them about their right to see another doctor and make sure they have information to excercise that right. In providing this information you must not imply or express diapproval of the patient's lifestyle,choices or beliefs. If it is not practical for a patient to arrange to see another doctor, you must make sure that arrangements are made for another suitabily qualified colleage to take over your role. A healthcare professional must not express his personal beliefs( including political, religious and moral beliefs) to patients in ways that exploit their vulnerability or are like;y to cause them distress.
