Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the religious-based conscientious objection to blood transfusion in unconscious or incapacitated adult patients, and the medical position in the face of this refusal. For this, the following problem was established: what are the limits of the objection of religious and medical conscience in situations of blood transfusion in an adult or incapacitated patient? We work with the hypothesis that the right to life will prevail in the face of refusal to transfuse blood, in case of imminent risk of death, due to religious beliefs. As a methodological analysis, the approach used in this work was deductive.
