How will you express your opinions as a medical student on controversial topics such as abortion, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and cloning?

"When it comes to controversial topics such as abortion, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and cloning, I will give my opinions more freely in a social setting with student colleagues here at your medical school versus in the workplace or around patients. If at work, I would try to keep my personal opinion to myself or, at the very least, remain diplomatic by expressing how each side has their right to an opinion."

Questions like this can be tricky, and you want to note the wording of the question. The interviewers at Albany Medical College aren't asking for your direct opinion; they'd rather hear you discuss how you remain tactful when controversial topics arise.
