The father admits he and his wife refused some blood tests that medical staff wanted to conduct on the baby. He said several blood tests had already been done on his child and he refused tests for genetic and hereditary diseases.
"When they took the baby’s blood, he started to cry and he was really uncomfortable," he said. "They told us we had the right to refuse."
