Prince v. Massachusetts (1944), que se cita a menudo en casos de transfusión, versaba sobre el trabajo infantil y la distribución de publicaciones, no sobre el tratamiento médico; su afirmación de que los padres no tienen libertad 'to make martyrs of their children' se encuentra en 321 U.S. 170.

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

31 de enero de 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.
