I disagree that is not the courts decision. This is a decision for child services. If the parents are unwilling to do what is in the best interest of the child then child services has a responsibility to step in and take action. The parents here are making a choice that is going to impact their child's life, not their own.
If this was a case where the child had minimal to no chance of survival by going thru the chemo then I would say fine, but Hodgkin's is a very survivable disease but if the parents let the disease progress then it becomes very serious. -----Original Message----- From: G Money [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 10:44 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Schiavo II? Be careful what you are agreeing with. I think the kid should do chemo too.....but that aint my decision, and it sure as hell aint a courts decision. Today they are deciding what this kid should do, tomorrow it might be you. On 7/13/06, Duane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Chemo can be pretty nasty, but isn't always.
