Abstract: Conscientious objection, as the modern claim of a person who opposes a legal obligation by invoking one’s "sovereignty" of conscience, takes different forms. The purpose of this paper is to bring to the foreground some individual manifestation aspects of religious and philosophical beliefs in connection to military service and labour relations, with a focus on doctor – patient relationship (which is situated at the intersection of the individual autonomy principle and the obligation to comply with the Hippocratic Oath).

Keywords: freedom of thought; conscience and religion; Conscientious objection; military service; doctor-patient relationship; Hippocratic oath. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
