Abstract
This article considers the recent decision of the Supreme Court in Greater Glasgow Health Board v Doogan and Others, which concerns the definition of ‘participate’ in the context of abortion and the conscientious objection of healthcare professionals due to their religious beliefs. It is argued that the Supreme Court was correct in affirming the definition of ‘participate’ as articulated by Lord Keith in Janaway v Salford Area General Authority. The protection of conscientious objection, under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, is considered. The discussion in this commentary, however, is limited to religious belief and
does not consider the wider ambit of Article 9, such as non-religious philosophical beliefs.
