El juez Wells desestimó las solicitudes del director de Bienestar Infantil, sostuvo que no se había demostrado que la sangre fuera esencial —‘not been demonstrated to be essential’— y que ‘could be harmful’ en aquellas circunstancias, y declaró al muchacho menor maduro, cuyo deseo de recibir tratamiento sin sangre debía respetarse; el Tribunal Supremo de Canadá resumió después esa misma resolución, publicada como Re A.Y. (1993), 111 Nfld. & P.E.I.R. 91, y dejó constancia de que el juez Wells señaló que el tratamiento tenía menos de un cuarenta por ciento de probabilidades de ser eficaz, no era ‘essential’ y era contrario a los deseos del adolescente maduro.

Awake!, “He ‘Remembered His Creator in the Days of His Youth’”

22 de mayo de 1994 · pp.6-8 · pars. 29-37 · Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

“For the following reasons, the applications of the Director of Child Welfare are dismissed; the child is not in need of protection; the use of blood or blood products for the purposes of blood transfusion or injection have not been demonstrated to be essential, and in the particular circumstances of this case, could be harmful.”

The article prints extracts from the decision of Wells J of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, given on Monday 19 July 1993, and states that the decision was later published in the Human Rights Law Journal of 30 September 1993. Further extracts record the judge’s findings that the boy was ‘mature beyond any normal expectation’ and that forcing treatment on him would drastically reduce his suitability for that treatment.

Supreme Court of Canada, “A.C. v. Manitoba (Director of Child and Family Services), 2009 SCC 30, [2009] 2 S.C.R. 181”

26 de junio de 2009 · pp.[2009] 2 S.C.R. 181 at 221-222 · paras. 62-63 (and para. 128 per McLachlin CJ) · Abella J · Supreme Court of Canada

“In Re L.D.K. (1985), 48 R.F.L. (2d) 164 (Ont. Prov. Ct. (Fam. Div.)), for example, the patient was a 12-year-old girl suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia. … In Re A.Y. (1993), 111 Nfld. & P.E.I.R. 91 (Nfld. S.C.), the court was faced with an application from the Director of Child Welfare to impose treatment on a 15-year-old Jehovah’s Witness who had cancer.”

The Supreme Court of Canada’s own summary of the two Canadian decisions described in the 22 May 1994 Awake!. Of Re L.D.K. the Court records that two doctors put the odds of a favourable outcome at around 30 per cent, that Main Prov. Ct. J. found ‘the emotional trauma [the child] would experience’ in forced treatment would outweigh the anticipated benefits (p. 169), and that he concluded ‘[T]his child’s life is equally in danger whichever path is taken’ (p. 170). Of Re A.Y. it records that Wells J noted the treatment was less than 40 per cent likely to be effective, was not ‘essential’, and was contrary to the mature adolescent’s wishes, so that he was not a child in need of protection. At para. 128 the Chief Justice describes the same boy as ‘a 15-year-old boy suffering from terminal cancer’.
