Meh I was just being needlessly angry and annoyed. I don’t think we should let people die like that. Especially kids. Life saving treatment should never be up to the parents to decide, except in some very specific cases. Once they turn 18 they can make their own decisions, but fuck everything about putting your personal beliefs over your children’s lives and health.
In this instance it was the 16 year old child themselves refusing, and the hospital determining that she had capacity to do so. That’s why they went for a court order, so the decision and liability wouldn’t fall on them.
Only further goes to show that I should read the fucking article before raging, and then instead of raging stay rational. I give enough shit to others for doing precisely that. :/
