Judge rules baby must have blood transfusion, despite parents' objections
A British High Court judge has given permission for a baby boy to undergo blood transfusions during an operation notwithstanding his parents’ objections on religious grounds.
Mr Justice Keehan had been told by a specialist that the baby – whose parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses – had complex heart disease and no “long-term prospect of survival” if he did not have cardiac surgery.
