Spain and matter of blood

[MJ1]

Detailed article about recent case.   Refusal to take blood is I suppose like those (many in the medical world) who would not take a covid jab as they "did not want anything in them they disagreed with"

I can't seem to reach the site. Can you post a few sentences that explain what the article says?

[MJ1]

Maybe its blocked in America - dont know.  Its a very very long article and cannot post all of it  -  except  however this is the last 3 paragraphs

 

In an age when patient autonomy is celebrated but often sacrificed to institutional convenience, when religious freedom is affirmed but frequently subordinated to majority preferences, and when procedural justice is theoretically acknowledged but practically neglected, this study serves as both diagnosis and prescription.

 

For healthcare professionals navigating end-of-life decisions, for judicial authorities adjudicating medical conflicts, for legislators designing healthcare law, and for religious communities seeking to assert their convictions within secular legal frameworks, Leal-Adorna’s work provides rigorous, nuanced, and practically applicable guidance.

 

It is scholarship of the kind that reminds us why the legal protection of human rights matters: not as abstract philosophy, but as the mechanism through which vulnerable minorities can assert their dignity, their conscience, and their fundamental humanity within modern states.

Very long read.

explain what the article says

a comprehensive analysis recently published in Religions, University of Seville legal scholar Mar Leal-Adorna has produced a meticulously researched examination of one of contemporary law’s most profound ethical dilemmas: the right of Jehovah’s Witnesses to refuse blood transfusions, even when such refusals threaten their lives.
