Authorization Of Involuntary Blood Transfusion For Adult Jehovah's Witness Held Unconstitutional--In Re Brooks' Estate, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Despite serious illness, plaintiff requested, in accordance with her religious beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness, that blood transfusions not be administered to her.

Michigan Law Review
Although strenuous opposition has been encountered in the courts whenever an attempt has been made by the legislatures to interfere with the contractual freedom of adults in matters pertaining to the contract of employment, the right of interference in the case of children has been always conceded. From an early time minors have been placed under contractual disability by the law and have been looked upon as wards of the State. Having denied to them a full measure of contractual freedom, the State can hardly deny an equivalent protection; in fact the rule of contractual disability is in a large …
