Professor David Albert Jones:

Conscientious objection for assisted dying takes different forms in different jurisdictions. I would recommend looking at what is happening in the United States. Of the various jurisdictions, the United States is the one which is most restrictive and is often put forward as one we should look to if we are to have assisted dying. It would be useful to look at what conscientious objection means in that context. Often, it does not involve a duty to refer.
