I am aware of some situations like this, and it is sad when a Jehovah family that doesn't believe in blood transfusions refuses treatment for their child with a very curable/treatable illness. At that point I certainly agree with the Govt stepping in to protect the child's best interests, even if the child doesn't realize it. But it certainly runs the risk of being a slippery slope, and a very grey area.
