Conscientious objection is the refusal to perform a legal duty based on moral or religious beliefs. This often occurs in situations where individuals are asked to participate in activities that go against their deeply held convictions, such as military service or providing certain medical treatments. Conscientious objectors may seek alternative ways to fulfill their obligations or may face legal consequences for their refusal.

What are the reasons for Conscientious Objection?
Conscientious objectors were people who simply did not want to fight in World War One. Conscientious objectors became known as 'conscies' or C.O's and they were a sign that not everybody was as enthusiastic about the war as the government would have liked. Battles such as Ypres and the Somme had cost Britain a vast number of casualties. By 1916, volunteers to join the British Army were starting to dry up. In response to this, the government introduced conscription in 1916 - where the law stated that you had to serve your country in the military for a certain period of time. A 'conscience clause' was added whereby those who had a "conscientious objection to bearing arms" were freed from military service. (To suki luv Dani)
