Abstract Members of religious communities sometimes refuse medical treatments, not only for themselves, but also for their children. Certain orthodox Protestants refuse vaccinations against infectious childhood diseases and Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions. The central question in this contribution is how that refusal should be judged from a fundamental rights' perspective.
