The critique of the parents and the judicial system has nothing to do with hindsight. It isn't a results based critique, it is how they made that determination in the first place.
I am curious why you said as a parent, "of course" you would have continued treatment.

First, you don't have to explain chemo to me. It seems that you think everyone reacts exactly the same to it.
I never suggested she was anything close to fine before, obviously. Not sure how you interpreted that. She wasn't in ICU until after her chemo treatment began, which goes to show how badly she was reacting to the treatment.
I said "of course", because it's what we chose to do when we were in our situation.
