- Title
LA TRANSFUSIÓN DE SANGRE A LOS TESTIGOS DE JEHOVÁ: ¿JERARQUÍA ENTRE PRINCIPIOS CONSTITUCIONALES?
- Authors
Fuentes Orozco, Jesús José
- Abstract
In reference to protection, the Colombian constitutional jurisprudence has addressed cases in which it resolves the conflict between Jehovah's Witnesses' rights to freedom of religion and the Government's duty to protect the life of its associates when they refuse to get blood transfusions. In such cases, the Colombian Constitutional court does not establish any hierarchy concerning the principles; on the contrary, it adopts a solution consistent with the nature of mandates of optimization which assists the court with these principles of conflict when encouraging the search of medical alternatives that balance its implementation.
