 However, these links between informed consent, autonomy, and the good life are more tenuous than informed consent requirements are usually assumed to be. In the Jehovah’s Witness case, any medical good that might come from promoting the patient’s future cooperation with assigned medical teams is irrelevant once refusal to accept transfusion makes the patient’s future life an impossibility. In addition, according to the beliefs of some Jehovah’s Witnesses, what their religion says is that they must refuse transfusion, not that undergoing forced transfusion would land them in hell or breach their personal integrity. To impose transfusion on Jehovah’s Witnesses of that particular persuasion might not blight their lives, yet it remains a clear breach of informed consent requirements.
