OH, THE TOLERANCE
I am Yes I would take that kid forcibly away from the parent in a heartbeat. With a court order at first and a bullet, secondly, were it to come to that. And I would do either without the slightest hesitation.
nobody gets to make their own mind up when it comes to medical decisions!
my wife's grandmother (99 years old and lucid most of the time) fell and broke a hip, they said she would never survive surgery so they didn't bother trying. what they did "do" for her was withhold fluids and let her go that way. they call it dehydration and if you did that shit to a dog they would have you in court for cruelty to animals where they would say you made a poor dog die of thirst instead of getting it a shot
we have very few "rights"

I read it just fine. It is not a mother's judgment concerning how her child is "doing under chemotherapy" which is an opinion I would take much account of - or place much stock in. For that, I'll listen to the oncologists.
Chemotherapy is, by design, a poison. It is designed to kill a specific part of your body without killing the rest of it faster than the body can keep up with. OF COURSE it makes you sick, weak and unable to eat, among other things. These are not accidental side-effects, they are unavoidable consequences of the toxins. It's the best we've got.
And no, I do not trust the mother's judgment based upon what I have read in this already biased article.
Ideology has no place in medical treatment. That applies whether she is a Jehovah's Witness denying a transfusion, or some New Age Stoner or Naturopath or Homeopath looking to hemp for some miracle cure.
Jack Herrer may have been a fine cannabis activist - but when it came to this issue? He was a stark raving loon.
…The statistics for surviving cancer through oncology hasn't changed much at all in their entire careers.
They watched oncology kill people all day for decades…
My family member gets cancer? You can bet there won't be a single oncologist consulted on the subject. Period. I don't care WHO gets it. The oncology profession can globally suck it, as far as I'm concerned…
