They tried, a court ruled against them.

Thank gawd.

Why? Because you know her better than her parents, or herself?

They refer to the Constitution, which part? Which SCoC ruling?

Then your choice would be to accept the chemo. I'm not sure what mine would be, it would depend on the circumstances and the cancer involved. But it can be torturous, many would say worse than the disease.

And chemo can severely damage your immune system.

I am aware of chemo and it's side effects. But not everyone pukes their guts out either. It is a crap shoot always as to the reaction.


Turning down a 90 to 95 percent cure rate is a big gamble with a child's life.


Some don't believe in blood transfusions...I worked with a Christian Scientist...her husband died from an infect toe...they don't believe in doctors.

I haven't done any digging, not that it matters to me anyways. I don't think the courts should be allowed to intervene in cases like this.

I think chemotherapy is so foul and horrendous I think anyone should have the right to refuse it. Having said that though I think there should be a special place in hell for charlatans who claim to be able to "cure" cancer.

From what I've been told, Chemo is much improved from what it was years ago.

it's still really hard on the body though JLM, if I was say stage 4, I wouldn't go for it but with high odds for sure I would along with every other thing I could research that had helped others.

That would be including yourself right?

I'll tell you what is interesting. It's interesting how you always seem to be able to ascertain the slightest of implied meanings behind anyone's expression when it comes to scoring some lame-assed internet argument point, yet nothing here is black and white enough for you.

Get off your ****ing high horse.

Well seeing as how I'm stuck on my freaking iPad I can't go back to even see who i was talking to. So why don't you trot on back and when you discover that it's not all about you, I expect a ****ing retraction.

Jesus Christ.
