Because people are stupid, you and I may not be but there are lots of people who are who are downright morons, the fact this kid was born with fetal alcohol syndrome I would suggest supports the fact the parents are part of the EXTREMELY stupid group.
Like the couple in the states who decided to pray for their childs healing rather then take their kid to the doctor. The kid ended up dying and it turns out he had diabetes and could have lived a long normal life with treatment.
Sometimes stupid peoples decisions need to be overruled by peope more informed and dare i say not as stupid as them.
It's not like this is some radical treatment with a small chance of success. The doctors put the odds at 50/50 for full remission.
