Sumario:This article aims at highlighting the consequences of the conceptual connection between conscience, freedom of conscience and conscientious objection. In order to do that, firstly, it will be necessary to reconstruct the meaning of those three concepts.

Then, I will apply reasonableness test for interpreting the scope of the right of conscientious objection and to determine if it is desirable to admit an institutional conscientious objection for private health clinics.
