Judge orders blood can be administered to Jehovah Witness girl if necessary
A teenage girl who urgently requires surgery can, if necessary, be administered blood or blood products against the wishes of herself and her parents who are all Jehovah Witnesses, the president of the High Court has ordered.
Mr Justice Peter Kelly said he was satisfied, notwithstanding the views of the girl and her parents, the orders are necessary for preserving the girl's life and not to permit them would be "hazardous".
