What role does "conscience" play in medical practice? Conscience is inherently and continuously engaged in the practice of medicine, as every action performed by a physician carries moral weight. Medical practice is an intrinsically moral endeavor, rooted in the trust placed in physicians to care for individuals of intrinsic and irreplaceable value. Building on this premise, it becomes particularly important to examine the interplay between laws governing Medical Aid in Dying, the goals and virtues of medicine, and the concept of conscientious objection (both personal and institutional). Can the legal protection of conscientious objection coexist with ensuring patients' access to medical aid in dying? Moreover, do the patterns and data surrounding conscientious objection provide grounds for a critique of such laws? This inquiry seeks to navigate these pressing ethical and legal questions, exploring the delicate balance between professional conscience, patient rights, and the evolving landscape of medical ethics
