Prince v. Massachusetts (1944), häufig in Transfusionsfällen zitiert, betraf Kinderarbeit und die Verbreitung von Literatur, nicht die medizinische Behandlung; die Aussage, dass es Eltern nicht freisteht, 'to make martyrs of their children', steht auf 321 U.S. 170.

Supreme Court of the United States, “Prince v. Massachusetts, 321 U.S. 158 (1944)”

31. Januar 1944 · pp.321 U.S. at 170 · Rutledge J. · Legal Information Institute, Cornell Law School

“Parents may be free to become martyrs themselves. But it does not follow they are free, in identical circumstances, to make martyrs of their children before they have reached the age of full and legal discretion when they can make that choice for themselves.”

A child-labour / street literature distribution case involving a Witness aunt and her nine-year-old ward — not a transfusion case, though often cited in transfusion litigation.
