English to Spanish: White paper excerpt translation sample
Source text - English How can societies find the proper balance between women’s rights to receive the reproductive healthcare they need and healthcare providers’ rights to exercise their conscience? Global Doctors for Choice (GDC)—a transnational network of physician advocates for reproductive health and rights (www.globaldoctorsforchoice.org)—began exploring the phenomenon of conscience-based refusal of reproductive healthcare in response to increasing reports of harms worldwide. This White Paper addresses the varied interests and needs at stake when clinicians claim conscientious objector status when providing certain elements of reproductive healthcare. (While GDC represents physicians, in this White Paper we use the terms providers or clinicians to also address refusal of care by nurses, midwives, and pharmacists.) As the focus is on health, we examine data on the prevalence of refusal; lay out the potential consequences for the health of patients and the impact on other health providers and health systems; and report on legal, regulatory, and professional responses. Human rights are intertwined with health, and we draw upon human rights frameworks and decisions throughout. We also refer to bedrock bioethical principles that undergird the practice of medicine in general, such as the obligations to provide patients with accurate information, to provide care conforming to the highest possible standards, and to provide care that is urgently needed. Others have underscored the consequences of negotiating conscientious objection in healthcare in terms of secular/religious tension. Our contribution, which complements all of this previous work, is to provide both the medical and public health perspectives and evidence. We focus on the rights of the provider who conscientiously objects—together with that provider’s professional obligations, the rights of the women who need healthcare- and the consequences of refusal for their health, and on the impact on the health system as a whole.
Translation - Spanish ¿Qué pueden hacer las sociedades para lograr el equilibrio entre el derecho que asiste a las mujeres a recibir los servicios de salud reproductiva que necesitan, y los derechos de los proveedores de esos servicios de salud a actuar conforme a su conciencia? La red transnacional de médicos Global Doctors for Choice (GDC), que defiende los derechos reproductivos y a los servicios de salud (www.globaldoctorsforchoice.org), ha iniciado investigaciones en torno al fenómeno de la negativa a suministrar servicios de salud reproductiva por razones de conciencia, como resultado del incremento a nivel mundial de las consecuencias negativas de semejante posición. El presente artículo atiende los diversos intereses y necesidades en juego en la negativa a suministrar ciertos servicios de salud reproductiva por parte de los profesionales de la salud que se asumen como objetores de conciencia (si bien GDC representa a los médicos, en el presente artículo utilizamos los términos proveedores o profesionales de la salud para abarcar también a enfermeras, parteras o farmacéuticos que se rehúsen a suministrar determinados servicios). Con la salud como eje primordial y al respecto de tal denegación, examinaremos datos que revelan su prevalencia; estableceremos sus consecuencias potenciales en la salud de las y los pacientes, así como sus repercusiones en otros sistemas y proveedores de salud; y describiremos las respuestas que ha generado tanto en términos jurídicos y normativos, como en el propio ámbito de la práctica profesional de la medicina. Abrevaremos continuamente del marco jurídico de los derechos humanos y de las decisiones que les involucran, en la medida en que éstos y la salud misma interactúan estrechamente, y haremos referencia a los principios bioéticos fundamentales de la práctica de la medicina en general, tales como la obligación de brindar información precisa a los pacientes, el compromiso de suministrar cuidados de la salud conforme a los estándares más altos que sea posible, y el deber de proporcionar la asistencia médica que se requiera con urgencia. Algunas voces han subrayado las consecuencias de negociar la objeción de conciencia en el ámbito de la salud en términos de una tensión entre lo laico y lo religioso. Nuestra contribución, complementaria a todo el trabajo previo sobre el tema, es ofrecer tanto las evidencias, como las perspectivas médicas y de salud pública.

Bio
I was born in Mexico City and got my instruction here. I got English and French lessons as part of my Elementary, Secondary and High School currirula. I attended College where I got a BA degree. Fresh from College, I got drawn towards video production and started working at a dubbing company. I took up translation there—first as a way to improve the studio workflow, and then as my real passion. I expanded my fields and activities as a linguist and found several areas I fell in love with: IT, medical, legal, journalism, to name a few. My specific interest in translation as a trade and a profession is the huge amount of learning I get, for I consider myself a lear-for-life person.
