The Inner Workings of an Ethics Committee: Latest Battle over Jehovah's Witnesses
Hastings Center Report 18 (1):15-20 (1988)
Abstract
Jehovah's Witnesses who refuse blood transfusions on religious grounds have long created ethical dilemmas for those in the medical profession trying to serve them. A bioethicist working in a clinical setting explores how one hospital ethics committee grappled with the additional problem of pregnant Jehovah's Witnesses, including the complex interdependence of maternal and fetal rights.My notes
