Case: in august 2013, a particular medical case called the attention of the Media in the city of Guayaquil. A Judge granted a judicial order (interim measure) for blood transfusion to a newborn child who was an inpatient in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit and needed the treatment urgently. The parents of the Child refused the blood transfusion due to their religious beliefs. The objectives of the present article are to share the interviews of the sources of the case and confirm the event. In addition, a review of the religious, bioethical and legal issues behind the event has been portrayed. Interviews to the Judge involved, the Jehovah’s Witness of Ecuador Attorney, the Legal Adviser of DINAPEN (Police Specialized in Children National Management Office), and the National Tutelary Attorney of the Public Defense Office of Ecuador were performed. Furthermore, the article will set the procedure in which legal action shall be sought for the administration of blood transfusions in critical situations when parents deny a blood transfusion in children.
