Christian Views on Parental Responsibility
#42
RE: Christian Views on Parental Responsibility
For the last question, I say I forbid because of the reasons given. If there is another reason to refuse treatment, such as it's too horrible compared to the success rate of the treatment, that would be a separate issue. But to just accept a religious reason from your 11 year old for life or death decisions is wrong, in my opinion. I would act in what I perceive to be their best interest, and if there are no other objections than religious, I would overrule them.
Feel free to send me a private message.
