if we're letting these parents make complicated medical decisions about their kids, why don't we let them run the nuclear power stations while we're at it?

doctors: treatment won't work.
parents: no. treatment will work. because....faith.
actual media headline: "parents adamant that treatment would work."
proper media headline: "delusional parents won't let go of severely retarded child."

this is a non-issue. the courts made clear decisions based on evidence from the bottom up. the parents, on the other hand, do not have anything resembling a coherent argument.

for the republican party and the catholic church to involve itself in this is disgusting.

and, for the media to even carry it as a story is irresponsible.

the parents need counseling, not a bunch of fucking vultures reinforcing a lot of religious nonsense.
