The conscience clause allows doctors to refuse to perform certain medical procedures on the grounds of their personal or ethical convictions. In the case of male thermal contraception, as the ring is not yet certified in Europe, a doctor can invoke this clause to refuse to prescribe spermograms or supervise their use. This means that the doctor is not obliged to participate in a practice that he or she considers not in line with his or her principles or potentially risky in the absence of official certification. However, he or she must refer the patient to another healthcare professional for support.
