While reading about " Paternalism and Respect for Patient Autonomy", what stuck out the most to me was example about a Jehovah's Witness who was in need of a blood transfusion or else they would not survive (pg 59,60). With that issue still standing out in my thoughts, I continued to read. Then I came across another proposal in this section about making dissions for a patient who does not have the ability to make the same chooses he or she would normally choose. Continuing on to the other sections, this scenario came about: A young 16 year old girl is rushed into the emergency room by her parents. She complains of cramps in her mid sections. The doctors run test and find that she has a ectopic pregnancy. The family is a good Christian family
