Abstract

VELASQUEZ-CORDOBA, Luis Fernando  and  CORDOBA-PALACIO, Ramón. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION AND PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHROPOLOGY. pers.bioét. [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.2, pp.167-175. ISSN 0123-3122.

The paper begins with the human being's unavoidable need to choose between two or more realities and to opt for one of them in order to carry out any voluntary act, regardless of how trivial or momentous it might be. The rush to reduce or abolish the right of conscientious objection is the culmination of a policy that ignores the intrinsic dignity of the human being. Every human being is a person. This policy tries to impose adherence to the rules or norms of the State, which are dictated by any official agency to ensure observance of the "law" above and beyond conscience, thereby obliging a person to become a criminal or an accomplice in matters such as abortion, euthanasia and the like.

Keywords : Awareness; objection; ethics; bioethics.
