1. ““To prohibit the natural parents and the guardians ad litem of the minor children the right to give their consent under these circumstances, where there is supervision by this court and other persons in examining their judgment, would be most unjust, inequitable and injudicious. Therefore, natural parents of a minor should have the right to give their consent to an isograft kidney transplantation procedure when their motivation and reasoning are favorably reviewed by a community representation which includes a court of equity. It is the judgment of this court that [the parents] have the right, under the particular facts and circumstances of this matter, to give their consent to the operations.” {Hart, 29 Conn. Supp. at 378 , 289 A.2d at 391 .)”
