After reading that statement there's no way I could support their decision. In effect they have said if another of their children become seriously ill they'd not seek medical attention to save them.
Yep. That was a the deal-breaker for me, too. They had my sympathy right up until that point...
However, I rarely go to the doctor, either. And not for religious reasons; I just come from good genetic stock. ;)
The last time I had to take a full exam was three years ago for insurance purposes. The doctor could find absolutely nothing wrong with me...and told me I was the healthiest middle-aged female she’d ever examined. (Fresh air, sunshine and clean livin’ does a woman wonders.)
Maybe I should sell my cells for cloning? Nah...one of me is more than enough for this world; and my critics heartily agree, LOL!
If that's actually what they're saying, then they are very much in the wrong. But if they're saying they didn't know she was sick? That calls for a different verdict.
Again, the key questions are "What should they have known? What did they know? And when did they know it?"
