What are the cons about the right of expected mother or guardian to refuse medical treatments?

Question

What are some cons for expected mother or guardians of minor child to prevent them from refuse medical treatment for terminal illness?

Answer 1

An expectant mother, being pregnant, is carrying another life besides her own and is responsible for that life. Refusing medical care would be refusing care for the unborn child as well. A guardian can only refuse care for someone they are the legal guadian of. If it is a minor, the authority can be taken away by a court if it is determined that the child needs medical care.
