This is why the parents rights must be upheld. Otherwise overly zealous, but well meaning people will run roughshod over any conception of individual rights.

But conversly, what if the parents in a position of absolute authority convince their kid that he doesn't want to go through the treatments?
There are some people out there that wouldn't want to heart break of watching their kid wither and die, and we all know that they're not evil people, they're just not emotionally ready for the fight.
So I'm not sure that parental rights in this case trump the right of the medical experts.
