Résumé

Legal Medicine Life Sciences & Biomedicine Medicine, Legal Science & Technology
After a twenty-year hiatus, the issue of transfusion refusal issued by Jehovah's Witnesses comes up in legal news with the decision of May 20, 2022 rendered by the Council of State. During these 20 years the rights of patients and the autonomy of the person have been considerably strengthened. Although the refusal of treatment is clearly stated in the law, the High Administrative Court nevertheless maintains its position. (C) 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
