ALTERNATIVES TO BLOOD TRANSFUSION IN TRANSFUSION MEDICINE, pp. 531-558, Alice Maniatis, Phillipe Van der Linden, Jean-François Hardy, eds., Wiley-Blackwell, 2010; Boston College Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 215.

"The litigation to protect Jehovah’s Witnesses from unwanted blood transfusions, which their theology considers a violation of the biblical prohibition against drinking blood, has produced important changes in both the right to refuse treatment and in the preferred treatment methods of all patients. This article traces the evolution of the rights of competent medical patients in the United States to refuse medical treatment. It also discusses the impact this litigation has had on the medical community’s realization that blood transfusions were neither as safe nor as medically necessary as medical culture posited." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/12/22/law-review-blood-transfusions-jehovahs-witnesses-and-the-american-patients-rights-movement/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

"This article first explores the nature of religion, from the vantage point of both research-related findings and decisions of American courts. It then discusses the several legal issues that may arise in connection with the imposition of faith-based treatment for mental illness by parents on their minor children, including the potential liability of clergy providing care and counsel in such circumstances, the lack of established standards for clergy providing mental health services, and the potential civil and criminal implications of the parental decisionmaking and conduct." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/07/02/law-review-faith-based-mental-health-treatment-of-minors/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. S. Magnet and Heather Ann Hillsburg, <em>Protecting Children’s 'Best Interests': Mature Minors, Faith and Canadian Jurisprudence</em> (April 13, 2010). Available at SSRN: <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=1589208">http://ssrn.com/abstract=1589208</a>

"Jehovah’s Witnesses are consistently marginalized within the Canadian legal system. This discrimination is particularly noticeable in cases involving children such as child custody battles, as well as in the language used at law to describe the Witness religion. Children are characterized at law as 'choosing' mainstream religion, whereas Witness elders “coerce”, “force” or “inculcate” children into a religion that will ultimately harm them. The biases within this language played a key role in the 2009 A.C. v. Manitoba decision. In this case, the court rules that a 15 year-old girl suffering from Crohn’s disease was ordered to undergo a blood transfusion against her will. The court grounded its decision in sections 25(8) and 25(9) of the Canadian child and family services act, stipulating that a child could be subjected to medial treatment that doctors deemed to be in their 'best interests', and that a child under the age of 16, unless deemed to be a mature minor by psychiatrists, could not make their own medical decisions. While psychiatrists decided that A.C. was a mature minor, the court overruled these findings. A.C. challenged the decision on the grounds that sections 25(8) and 25(9) of the Child and Family Services were arbitrary and discriminatory, but was ultimately forced to undergo a blood transfusion." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/01/law-review-the-marginalization-of-jehovahs-witnesses-in-canadian-child-custody-cases/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
