This article comprehensively addresses the topic of medical conscientious objection in the context of healthcare and its correlation with civil liability. Initially, it highlights the intrinsic relationship between Medicine and Law, emphasizing the significance of medical practice for society and its legal guidance. Subsequently, it elucidates the principles of the Unified Health System (SUS), underscoring how the Federal Constitution of 1988 guarantees the right to health for all citizens. The discussion delves into the concept of conscientious objection, its constitutional and deontological provisions, and analyzes its main instances of incidence. Finally, the text explores the historical evolution of the right to conscientious objection, reflecting on the intrinsic importance of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion as essential foundations in a pluralistic society that respects individual rights. This analytical journey highlights the complexity and sensitivity surrounding the intersection of health, ethics, and legislation, fostering a more comprehensive and critical understanding of the topic.
