# Respecting Conscience, Protecting Patients: Unresolved Tensions in American Health Care

A lecture on "Respecting Conscience, Protecting Patients: Unresolved Tensions in American Health Care" is presented at the Library of Congress by James F. Childress, holder of the Cary and Ann Maguire Chair in Ethics and American History and a distinguished professor from the University of Virginia. In his lecture, Childress will examine the current controversies surrounding how to respect the conscientious refusals of health professionals - such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists or emergency medical personnel - to provide legal but morally contested health-care services.
