I think that people should be allowed to practice their medical beliefs freely even if it does result in the unfortuante outcome of death. The issue is in Western society, we view our form of medicine as ’superior’ in a way to what we deem as ‘alternative’ forms of medicine. We must realize that even though we hold the notion of medicine in the western sense to be somewhat superior to other forms, everyone has different concepts of treatments and we must recognize that in terms of their moral and conceptual beliefs.
Of course varying medical beliefs and ideas should be respected in our society and in the entire world, however, in a case where a certain disease has been clearly discovered and a treatment has been devised to eliminate it or keep it under control, I believe parents especially have a moral obligation to seek a treatment that is proven effective for their child.
The simple fact is that this child would still be alive and well, if the parents had simply sought treatment from a doctor.
Very nice post. I thought to let you know that you website isn’t getting displayed properly on s60 browser on my mobile phone.
I hope that increasingly number of web site owners would deliberate upon the fact that there is an ever growing number of users browsing webpages on the mobile.

I think they had every right to provide medical treatment for their children as they thought it was necessary.
