摘要：Increasingly, employees maintain they should be provided an unqualified legal right to
refuse work activities that violate their ethical, moral, personal, or religious convictions or
beliefs—in short, their conscience. This assertion has become one of the more controversial
issues confronting employers. This paper presents a brief review of conscientious objection with
special attention to objection in medical related areas, followed by new discussion of freedom of
conscience in the workplace.
