thirty-nine-year-old unmarried asbestos worker robert mcfall suffered "from a rare bone marrow disease" called aplastic anemia, where the patient's bone marrow fails to manufacture certain necessary blood components. without an urgent bone marrow transfusion, mcfall would soon die. mcfall's first cousin, a 42-year-old crane worker named david shimp, was the only available bone marrow match for mcfall at the time, but shimp refused to donate his bone marrow, which would have dramatically increased the odds of saving mcfall's life (with shimp's bone marrow donation, doctors estimated that mcfall would have had a 50% to 60% chance of surviving). mcfall then sued shimp in order to force him to donate his bone marrow. when the case ended up in court, judge john p. flaherty jr. stated that shimp's position was "morally indefensible," but simultaneously refused to force shimp to donate his bone marrow. judge flaherty also stated that forcing a person to submit to an intrusion of his body in order to donate bone marrow "would defeat the sanctity of the individual and would impose a rule which would know no limits, and one could not imagine where the line would be drawn." mcfall attempted to cite a 700-year-old statute of edward i, pointing out that the court was a successor to the court of chancery, although the statute was not found to have any authority after a diligent search.
