_42 CODE OF MEDICAL DEONTOLOGY - Article 34.3 Conscientious objection must have an ethical, moral or religious foundation, so those that obey criteria of convenience or opportunism must be rejected as acts of true objection. A doctor's objecting position implies this behavior in the public and private sectors. A doctor may notify the Local Medical Association of their conscientious objector status so that it may provide them with the necessary advice and help. Article 35.1 Science objection has deontological protection under the right to freedom of method and prescription, being different from conscientious objection. Article 35.2 A doctor must communicate their conscientious objector status to the person responsible for guaranteeing health care. Article 36.1 Conscientious objection refers to the rejection of certain professional actions. It should never mean a rejection of a person requesting care, whether for reasons of ideology, age, ethnicity, sex, lifestyle, or religion.
