As a medical student, how will you express your opinions 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 would always keep my personal opinion to myself and discuss the pros and cons with patients very diplomatically. If a patient asked my opinion, I would offer both sides of the argument without taking a side."

First and foremost, understand that your interviewers are not asking for your direct opinion on these topics. They want to hear how you will remain tactful when controversial topics arise, so be sure to reiterate that you will be able to hold these conversations professionally and tactfully with your future patients.
