Abstract

In this paper, conscientious objection and civil disobedience in assisted reproductive technologies will be analysed. The analysis will proceed in three steps. The first step will involve an attempt to define conscientious objection and civil disobedience respectively. The second step will try to answer the question of when health care professionals have a right or a duty to follow their own ethical judgements, disregarding the legal position. The third step will then be to analyse whether or not the moral rights and duties developed in step two can be given a satisfactory legal form.
