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.

So basically, you're saying it's okay for parents to essentially send their children to their deaths because they can't bare to see them suffer through Chemo...
It's one thing to reject treatment when you are 50 and lived a decently full life. Here, the PARENTS decided for their child that a death sentence was a better choice for their 11 year old then treating a CUREABLE disease. This wasn't terminal. She had a 75% chance of survival and they said "nah"...
