It's irresponsible.
I don't want to get down on people for their beliefs, and I'm not really interested in discussing the merits of various religions. If you as an adult make a choice to place your faith before your own personal well-being, I say more power to you. When there's a child involved, however, it's a different story. This little girl doesn't get to make a choice, and there's a strong possibility that she's going to suffer because of the decision her parents have made. There is
no reason not to make sure she gets adequate medical care here. They can be believe she's a goddess all they want, but why does that exclude the possibility of giving her a CT scan and making sure she is otherwise healthy?
My respect for religion does not extend to neglecting a child. If that makes me judgemental, so be it.
