You have a better chance for Zuul or Baal to exist than jesus.

Well, it's in Canada, and the article quotes someone that says she exercised her rights under the Health Care Consent Act. It also says she's a First Nations child, which means her ancestors were indigenous when the Europeans settled North America, so I'm sure that complicates the law, too.

I see, so ignorant parents are allowed to basically murder their children by refusing crucial treatment. Is it that different to refusing to feed them?

Are you saying that the 11 year old child wanted to die?

Ethically, no. Legally, yes. Like I said, it's a legal mess due to the fact that she's a First Nations child.

Sorry but there was a 75% chance to live its basically murder, so no she shouldn't have died for nothing.
