This sets precedence again for government to take children away.

If indeed it is religious (Christian Scientist).... sorry but I'm sure parents agonize beyond anyone's dreams over their decision.

If it is that they don't have all the info and the Dr.s are not forthcoming with statistics and facts...... It is the Dr.s fault.

I do not believe a government has any right to take children away from their parents, unless there is abuse. There doesn't seem to be abuse here just parents confused scared and unsure of what is best.

Government interference is wrong and shall always be wrong in cases like this. Educate the family, talk to them give them other dr.s opinions but don't take their kid.

What I find funny is there are people saying the government is right who also argue government is involved in far too much.... can't have it both ways.

As for a 12 year old having a voice, if I had a child who had cancer and they knew what their choices were and they made a decision and could explain it to me in such a way that I knew, they knew what they were talking about.... I would honor my child's wish no matter how old.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
