An ethics dialogue, for students and residents
You, student, go in and do that abortion.
Before I do, may I ask you a question?
Yes but make it quick.
Would you want your doctor to have moral integrity or not?
Uh, of course I would.
I know this is not an issue for you, but abortion is a moral issue for me and if you use your power to force me to do this abortion, you will destroy my moral integrity. Is that your desire?
