Does your Doctor provide unbiased, professional and straightforward medical advice to you based on medical science and proven methods? Don't be so sure.

A recent survey on the views of physicians on controversial medical procedures concluded that some physicians have a moral outlook that influences the advice they give to their patients.

In one example cited in the survey, 52% of doctors objected to the use of abortion due to failed contraception -- and about 40% of doctors said that a 16-year-old would not be given a a contraceptive without parental consent.
