How should a medical professional approach a request from a patient that conflicts with their individual conscience? Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and a host of other health care professionals face this dilemma all across America. Today Steve Kraske talks with Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, and Rosemary Flanigan, Program Associate for the Center for Practical Bioethics, about recent conflicts of conscience in medical decisions. Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences Bioethics Department Chairman David Wendell Moller also joins the conversation to discuss teaching bioethics to future doctors.
