A member asked:
What are labouring woman's legal rights to refuse treatment she isn't convinced of? do maternal rights trump fetal rights? can doctor force treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Total control: Women in labor might not be in the best physical/mental condition to make intelligent choices. But legally they have the final say in what could be done after their doctor explains the possible choices. This would include the risks of making the wrong choice.
