10, 13, 17.

Their choices on how to live their lives are theirs to make, but their choices on how to die are not. The only time I could permit someone to end their own lives or refuse treatment is if it was to prevent the prolonging of suffering. But religious reasons? Religious reasons are not rational, and they are not reasons that are meant to prevent their suffering.

If you're an adult and you want to refuse treatment for yourself because you're a moronic delusionist, fine, die and let the gene pool be rid of your dumbfuckery, but if you're a child, absofuckinglutely not.
