The four judges of the Supreme Court unanimously decided that doctors were at fault because they failed to explain that they might give her a blood transfusion if deemed necessary during the operation, thus depriving her of the right to decide whether to accept the operation or not.
Empat hakim Mahkamah Agung sepakat memutuskan bahwa para dokter bersalah karena tidak menjelaskan bahwa mereka mungkin akan memberikan transfusi darah apabila dianggap perlu sewaktu operasi, dengan demikian merenggut hak Misae untuk memutuskan apakah akan menerima operasi itu atau tidak.
