RE: Should Parental Authority Be Overriden for a Sick Child?

Videos like this only work to erode the core authority of parents. It is an attack on the family and is sad. Alternative medicines and second opinions are vital in the decision making and health of children. Is there only one authority ...the doctor? NO! What about someone who may have cancer or some other concern and just wants to end the pain rather than prolong the inevitable. this could fester into other areas of medicine and other age groups than just children. As well documented in this post, this opens up a can of worms...home birth, circumcision, vaccines...etc. Where are the good medical professional with a heart that would take on a doctor or video like this? This is so insane. It erodes freedoms too. And we think we are living in a free country when we hear daily of these attacks on our choices to be free. Yes we need to stand up and stifle conversations like this that attack our God given rights to do what is right. Thanks for a wonderful post.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, it is definitely an attack on the freedoms we have and parental right to decide about their child's medical course of action. It could definitely be carried into various other areas and we have already seen a lot of that. The government just has too much control and they like it that way. Parents don't need to be able to decide what is best for their kids if the government has already decided that for each and every one of them. Yikes. Scary.
