Abstract
Conscience acts not only as a personal moral authority, but it is also a pillar of dignity and human freedom in the social life. It allows the joint search for the truth and resolve moral dilemmas by members of the human community. After presenting different interpretations of conscience, the author discusses the relationship of conscience with human dignity. The dignity of conscience is the basis of human freedom. At the same time human dignity is affirmed by the respect for freedom of conscience. The practical expression of this freedom is the right to conscientious objection. This problem occurs most often in the context of the duties of health professionals. Respect for their personal rights also demands respect for their right to conscientious objection when the proper procedure implies their moral responsibility which creates a conflict of conscience.
