It's a shame that you ever have to force parents to stop their kid from dying. It makes me angry to think of those fuck head parents at home, making excuses for why God is still all loving even though he gave their kid a fatal disease. Some people have a pretty low bar for "love".
"Oh well, it's part of god's plan." No it isn't. It was your plan to refuse treatment because you are a terrible parent, putting superstition ahead of your child's life. The very worst thing is that this is what happens when you take Christianity seriously instead of just playing at it like most people do.
what makes me sick are self righteous people who only think of themselves and not what someone who is enduring pain for a furture of sickness and pain, all for their own sense of bent/warped 'morality.'
My hope for you is if you are ever in a situation like that, that soceity demands that you be made to stay alive no matter what. That way you can live out your 'morality' with pride.
So now you're not only in favor doctor assisted suicide but you'd like to see it available to children of all ages? Shame on you.
I guess one wide frame on the situation is that we are seeing evolution at work. A family made an unusual choice dictated by the primitive cultish beliefs they hold and as a result there will be one less offspring to carry forth their DNA.
