Even a trip to the dentist has an element of risk.

Like I said.... she's a fükin mental.

i suppose dentistry even a minor op has risk, but I think this is beyond minor..

The ultimate risk is the very same.
She's a mental.

I don't know I didn't read that bit, but if the child had an excellent chance of recover why does it say the dad was apprehensive.

she seems quite rational, she should have the right to decide for her child, this is another example of control over personal choices, which i think is a slippery road to no freedom at all.

All surgery has a risk, if I had a child I would be apprehensive about ALL surgery, wouldn't you.

you still haven't explained how anti sickness pills would ruin his life?

heartsandminds wrote:

I don't have to explain that, my whole point is the freedom of her choice and consequently the freedom of choice of others not what the treatment entails...

I'm the king wrote:

Why not, they are perfectly acceptable points?

so is it rational to prevent your child from taking anti sickness pills he has been prescribed by a doctor?

he wants it, she doesn't what do we do, just argue? a decsion has to be made and they decided to allow a judge to do that.

Would you support a woman who encouraged her son to play on the M6?
Afterall, it's a choice- based on idiocy.

not quite the same thing is it?

Hugh Jardon wrote:

Is it not?
Why not?

playing on the m6 would only lead to one possible conclusion, this can clearly have several possible outcomes, a parent who told a child to do something that was only likely to lead to death and any and all knowledge would make that very obvious to them would be dangerous, this is not so clear cut.

Nope.
Playing on any motorway could result in numerous conclusions.

tell you what just nip off for an hour and tell me how it goes, well i'll see it in the papers.

Now you finally get it!
You see I would not allow any of my kids to to it,
no rational parent would.

Do you now understand how idiotic that woman is!

This isn;t about choice, it's about something far more important than that, it's about the life of a young child.

heartsandminds wrote:

it is about a young child and I hope this child fully recovers but it also about a parents right to make a decision for that child and ultimately anyone's choice to take a treatment or not.

I'm the king wrote:

I am glad you finally accept that it is BOTH parents decision. what do you think should happen when the parents can not decide between them and the child's life is in the balance?

Toss a coin?

heartsandminds wrote:

on the other side of that coin toss if both parents disagree does the court butt out?

What?
