I wish it were that way here, but unfortunately with as religious and superstitious as the population is, in some jurisdictions they don't even prosecute people who allow their kids to die while they pray for them to get better instead of taking them to a doctor.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
