blood tranfusions and minors in the uk?
by pbr ini have been told by a reliable source that minors under the age of 16 cannot refuse life or death treatment within the uk, and that this has been the law since the mid/late 90's.
however i have been under the impression that if a minor can give a judge the impression that he/she fully understands the implications, then refusel of life saving treatment could indeed be granted to a minor.. can anyone shed some light on this?
perferably with documented proof of the law.. thanks in advance.
