2010-2012 CRR-CLS Fellow Will Be Published
Elizabeth Sepper’s article “Taking Conscience Seriously” will be published by the Virginia Law Review Volume 98 in November 2012. In the article,
Sepper challenges the conventional account of morality in medicine, which limits conscience to those who refuse to deliver controversial treatments,
like abortion and sterilization. She argues that conscience equally may compel a doctor or nurse to deliver a controversial treatment to a patient in
need, yet existing legislation meant to protect conscience, paradoxically, has undermined the consciences of these doctors and nurses.
