"The monograph presented here addresses the need for an in-depth analysis of the problem of whether a pharmacist can produce and/or distribute pharmaceuticals that strike at the basic ethos of medicine, which is to treat, or at least not harm, the patient. The pharmacist is not some 'neutral element' of the relationship with the patient. He or she is a person who is guided by certain ethical principles, also has his or her own conscience and discernment of right and wrong, and who cannot be dragged by force into an immoral transaction in violation of his or her fundamental rights. Thanks to this book, bioethical reflection in Poland has been enriched by an extremely valuable study, which can provide the basis for many detailed solutions to the dilemmas of conscience of pharmacists and pharmacists."
