I don't subscribe to holistic medicine, but lot's of cancer patients choose not to do chemo.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to watch your child suffer with this, and then torture them on top of that. 11 yrs old or 41 yrs old a person should have some say in their treatment. I don't think there's a right answer.
For adults, you bet. Fill your boots (or not).

For children I wholeheartedly disagree.

These parents allowed their daughter to both suffer and die from an illness that is highly treatable.
