Abstract

            Life, health and religious freedom are fundamental rights enshrined in the 1988 Constitution and must also be protected. However, there are situations where they may come into (apparent) conflict, such as when, for example, a citizen refuses to receive blood transfusion on religious grounds. In these cases, some bioethical, medical and legal questions arise for which the Law has not yet definitive answer, especially as to how the health professional should proceed. From this problem, the present article seeks to understand, from the analysis of the right to health, in which cases the refusal to blood transfusion may be legitimate and how it should be treated.
