I cannot believe that anyone would ever think that the government is better at making a decision about my health and my body. These people are not choosing to let their son die, they believe other methods are better and because we live in a free country they have that right. Allowing the government to step in over and over is going to create bad case studies that will lead to much more problems in the future and you may lose any choice you ever had over yourself.

The government is not GOD nor should they be acting like him. There are natural treatments that can be used instead of pumping your body with chemicals that kill the good and bad which makes you prone to other infections. That sounds great.
the parents are not 'letting their son die', as you so eloquently put it...they are seeking alternatives...if we have no rights to determine what is proper, as parents, for our own children, then push the socialist agenda a bit further, would you, and big government should be providing this for free, since they are insisting it is the only way...then, they can start providing free food to parents for our children, so we can feed them in a way that doesn't contain any government opposed health risks or issues...
it's just a good thing that socialism wasn't the government du jour a few hundred years ago, otherwise the government would be requiring parents to allow doctors to place leeches on sick children to release the imbalanced humours...
keep believing this way, and you will lose every right you have as a human being to big government...whether YOU like it or not...
Then move to Russia where the gov't will tell you how to live. This is the USA, ever hear of "FREEDOM?" Ever hear of the "Constitution, or ever read it?
