Boy flees Mexico to avoid chemo due in part to religious beliefs.

RE: Boy flees Mexico to avoid chemo due in part to religious beliefs.
Hey again all,

As a mature (or at least of age) adult, I would do any and everything in my power to resist being forced into chemotherapy. It might seem 'silly' to you, and that I am crazy for not trying as hard as I can to elongate my petty life for as many seconds as possible, regardless of how much pain I experience. But as an adult (which I admit being different that a kid, like this situation discussed) do I have the right to choose not to take chemo? I would call it eugenics if I could be forced against my will to be radiated by a bunch of people that didn't see the whole picture, and so were unnaturally terrified of death.

I say good on the kid, and I am proud of him and his supposed right not to go through that.

I think you guys should spend less time bitching at the world because it has different values that you. We are still not sure who's values are more stupid, so don't wave yours around like they're the word of some logic-god.

Not a coward,
-Pip
