Faculty of Medicine, University of Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia.
Introduction: Abortion and euthanasia are still one of the greatest bioethical challenges. Previous studies have shown that there are differences in attitudes towards these issues depending on socio-demographic characteristics and socio-cultural environment (country of residence). As part of the scientific research project EuroBioMed, we compared the attitudes of students from three Mediterranean countries towards abortion and euthanasia and examined them from the perspective of Mediterranean bioethics.

A dogma accepted in many ethical, religious, and legal frameworks is that the reasons behind conscientious objection (CO) in healthcare cannot be evaluated or judged by any institution because conscience is individual and autonomous. This paper shows that this background view is mistaken: the requirement to reveal and explain the reasons for conscientious objection in healthcare is ethically justified and legally desirable. Referring to real healthcare cases and legal regulations, this paper argues that these reasons should be evaluated either ex ante or ex post and defends novel conceptual claims that have not been analyzed in the debates on CO.

Article Synopsis
- - IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) is a respiratory disease in cattle caused by the bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 (BoAHV-1), which has multiple subtypes and causes serious health issues, including reproductive failures like abortions.
- - The virus can remain dormant in cattle and reactivate under stress or illness, spreading through direct contact or via the reproductive system, and it can also be transmitted through contaminated semen.
- - Diagnosis involves lab tests like cell culture and PCR, while management includes isolating infected animals and vaccination to prevent further spread and reduce symptoms.
Do mandatory waiting periods for abortion increase intimate partner violence?

Abortion restrictions affect access to reproductive health care. Research has demonstrated that abortion restrictions (policies that restrict access to abortion services or cause abortion clinics to close) result in reductions of and delays in abortions. We leverage two population-based datasets to investigate the effects of mandatory waiting periods (MWPs), a restrictive state abortion policy, on the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV), one of the most common types of crime and a highly prevalent and costly public health problem, using data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System and Uniform Crime Report - Supplemental Homicide Reports.
