st434u Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I know it's easy to hate on fundamentalist religious people, but do you realize that this means that the State gets to decide what medical procedures your kids must have, and if you disagree, you go to prison? What if the kid didn't die? Would they be charged with endangering a child? What if they took the kid to the doctor and the kid still died? Would the doctor be charged with murder? No, because the medical community and the State are pretty much one and the same. A lot of times, medical procedures do more harm than good. But as long as the State considers it proper medical procedure, there's no problem. However if someone uses alternative health care methods and something goes wrong, they can be charged with a crime solely based on the result.
