Questions like this can be tricky! Be sure to note the wording of the question. The interviewers want to see how you navigate controversial topics. They are not asking for your opinion on these topics but rather how you express your views. Discuss how you remain tactful when controversial topics arise.

"When it comes to controversial topics such as abortion, euthanasia, physician-assisted suicide, and cloning, I will certainly give my opinions more freely in a social setting with friends versus a workplace setting 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."

It is best to show the interviewers that you have opinions on these topics but know when it is appropriate to express your thoughts. For example, it is better to express your views in a social setting with friends rather than in a professional environment where colleagues may have different viewpoints.
