I lean your direction in principle

I would draw the line at life saving efforts mandated by medical professionals which is where this ended up

I mean you resist docs removing a gangrene limb or stenting a clogged LAD

life for a diabetic without insulin is rough

A sugars monitor transdermal and an insulin pump can give juvenile diabetics a fairly normal life and expectancy

Life without insulin for a type one diabetic will last about 6 weeks, no more. Insulin is one of the greatest of medical miracles. Without it I would not be here today as my father would have died before he married my mother.

Yes, parents are the deciders for their children, but children are not chattel and you are not entitled to chose to let them die.

"I would draw the line at life saving efforts mandated by medical professionals which is where this ended up"

You could say the same for Covid vaccines and transgender surgery, where a medical professional mandates it as life saving.
