Irish High Court allows ICU blood transfusion for Jehovah's Witness patient despite religious beliefs.

The High Court has granted permission for an Irish hospital to provide a Jehovah's Witness patient in ICU with a blood transfusion if necessary. The patient, who is currently in a critical condition, lacks the capacity to make an informed decision about his medical care. Despite the patient's religious beliefs, the court ruled that the hospital can proceed with a blood transfusion if the patient's life is at risk.
