Résumé : Since 2002, the Belgian legal framework authorizes the practice of euthanasia, under cer tain clear conditions. All cases have to be reported to the Assessment and Control Commission (ACC). To date, more than 10.000 cases have been reported since 2002. The concept of individual conscience clause is of concern and its use in an institutional dimension is analysed. The role of moral integrity and conscience clause in health care should be downplayed in the field of medicine's core values.
