Die veröffentlichten Urteile weichen in zwei Punkten von der Darstellung der Zeitschrift ab: Sie halten fest, dass E.G. über etwa sechs Wochen hinweg mehrere Transfusionen im Rahmen eines Vormundschaftsbeschlusses erhielt und nicht eine einzige erzwungene Transfusion, und der Oberste Gerichtshof von Illinois bestätigte die Entscheidung teilweise und hob sie teilweise auf, und zwar auf der Grundlage des Common Law; er lehnte es ausdrücklich ab, die Frage des Ersten Zusatzartikels zu entscheiden, lehnte es ab, darüber zu befinden, ob E.G. selbst eine reife Minderjährige war, weil der Fall gegenstandslos geworden war, und verwies die Sache zurück, damit die Feststellung der Vernachlässigung gegen ihre Mutter gelöscht werde.

Die Position der Organisation oder ihre spätere Erklärung: Die Beschreibung der Berufungsentscheidung als ‘a two-to-one decision’ in der Zeitschrift ist zutreffend, und sie zitiert den Maßstab des Obersten Gerichtshofs von Illinois für reife Minderjährige wörtlich.

Illinois Supreme Court, “In re E.G., a Minor, 133 Ill. 2d 98 (1989) — the reported facts”

18. November 1989 · pp.133 Ill. 2d 98 · Ryan J · Illinois Supreme Court

“On April 8, 1987, further hearings were held on this matter. E.G., having received several blood transfusions, was strong enough to take the stand.”

The reported facts: E.G. was diagnosed in February 1987 with acute nonlymphatic leukaemia; a temporary guardian with power to consent to transfusions was appointed on 25 February 1987; the trial court’s final ruling came on 18 May 1987; E.G. turned 18 on 25 November 1987. The Court also records her evidence that she asked to be sedated before the transfusions and said ‘[I]t seems as if everything that I wanted or believe in was just being disregarded.’ The Appellate Court reports the same events as ‘Appellant began receiving transfusions pursuant to this ruling.’

Notes. The reported facts describe a course of transfusions over roughly six weeks under a guardianship order; the Awake! account describes a single transfusion given ‘in spite of her vigorous protests’.

23. September 1987 · pp.161 Ill. App. 3d 765 · White J (Freeman J concurring; McNamara PJ dissenting) · Illinois Appellate Court

“The court found probable cause to believe that appellant was medically neglected and appointed the hospital official temporary custodian with power to consent to all medical treatment. Appellant began receiving transfusions pursuant to this ruling.”

The intermediate decision the Awake! article describes as ‘a two-to-one decision’ — accurately: Justice White wrote, Justice Freeman concurred and Presiding Justice McNamara dissented at length. The court ordered E.G. partially emancipated and granted her the right to accept or refuse transfusions, but affirmed the trial court’s finding that she had been medically neglected.

Notes. The Illinois Supreme Court later affirmed in part and reversed in part, on common-law rather than constitutional grounds, and remanded for the neglect finding against the mother to be expunged.

“If the evidence is clear and convincing that the minor is mature enough to appreciate the consequences of her actions, and that the minor is mature enough to exercise the judgment of an adult, then the mature minor doctrine affords her the common law right to consent to or refuse medical treatment.”

The passage the 22 May 1994 Awake! quotes, confirmed against the reported text. Opinion filed 18 November 1989; rehearing denied 29 January 1990; Ward and Clark JJ dissenting. The head matter records that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. appeared as amicus curiae, by Donald T. Ridley of Brooklyn, New York.

Awake!, “Youths Who Have “Power Beyond What Is Normal””

22. Mai 1994 · p.15 · par. 59 · Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

“The court found that Ernestine was a mature 17-year-old, able to make informed medical decisions; yet, amazingly, the court granted an order allowing blood transfusions. At the hospital two doctors were standing by, transfusion equipment set up, and as soon as the court’s decision came in, the transfusion was forcibly given to Ernestine in spite of her vigorous protests.”

The article’s account of the trial-court stage of the Chicago proceedings reported as In re E.G. It names Dr Stanley Yachnin, Dr Ner Littner and the hospital’s attorney Jane McAtee as witnesses, all three of whom appear in the reported judgments.
