How do you express your opinions on controversial topics such as abortion, euthanasia, physician assisted suicide, and cloning?

Questions like this can be tricky! Be mindful of the phrasing of this question. The interviewers want to see how you navigate controversial topics such as these. They are not asking for your political opinion on these topics. This isn't a debate. Your primary concern should be the welfare of your patients. One of the most important traits a medical provider can exhibit is empathy, strong communication, and listening skills, and an objective, scientifically found approach. Discuss how you remain tactful, objective, and non-political when controversial topics arise.
