Holly, I don't know if this would be the scenario you are talking about, but here a few years ago there was a case where:

A child who needed a blood transfusion to survive was denied one by the parents as they were of the Jehovah's Witnesses religion. Well, the courts got involved and the parents wishes were over ruled. The child was given blood and survived.

The parent's agrument was, that God would decide whether the child lived or died. The court's that the parents didn't have the right to deny lifesaving medical treatment to the child.

Who was right? And whose rights were violated if anyone's?
