I DO NOT understand why these Christian religious freaks do not read their Bibles more....
When Lazerus was dying, they sent a messenger to Jesus to tell him to please come home and help him...Christ sent a message back, asking if they did all that they humanly could to save him by asking'' if they anointed him with oil'', Anointing one with oil was a MEDICAL procedure of their day....Lazerus died anyway....as the story goes, then Christ brought him back to life.
As a believer, to me this tells us to do what is necessary medically to try to heal ourselves or others...if that doesn't work, then that doesn't work...but at least try.
care
Read my previous post, Care. There may be good reasons they don't want to go with chemo. Everyone is assuming that the woman wants to kill her kid and the kid is retarded. I suspect he has other medical issues as well, which make him a less likely candidate.
At any rate, nobody knows. But the immediate reaction is to trample everyone's rights and assume the worst...because the family happens to be citing Christian purpose to their choice.
There was a hearing where all of the medical evidence was heard which prompted the legal mandate to protect this child's life by requiring the treatment. It was not an immediate reaction to trample anyone's rights, read the story and stop talking in generalities and making assumptions.
Actually, I wasn't referring to the court. I was referring to the morons who are posting here.
