Conscientious objections

152. Conscientious objections



(1) Despite any Act, law or agreement to the contrary a person who has a
conscientious objection to research involving the use of gametes or embryos or
to a treatment procedure does not have to participate in that research or
procedure unless it is necessary to do so because it is likely that a person
who is or was a participant in the research or procedure will otherwise die.

(2) In any proceedings the burden of proving a conscientious objection is on
the person who relies on it.
