Regardless of what you think about refusing treatment, listen to the argument at the end for the state trying to take over: “Parents don’t own their children, they are just stewards of their care.” Does this mean the state does own children?
The 13 year old boy does not want chemotherapy. Does that mean that we don’t even “own” ourselves?
Many implications and questions.

Sick thought!! CRAZY!!
need to fight this!
If we are stewards of their care, even then, shouldn’t we be allowed to make decisions based on personal beliefs?
The idea that the state owns our children is horrifically frightening. If they are allowed to take basic rights away from us and we sit passively by, eventually it will be too late to try to fight back.
