My point exactly Mary. We should have the right to choose, and not have the government forcing it upon us. Fortunately my children were both very healthy, and I never had to make any such decision. But had it been a different scenario, then I feel it should have been my right as a parent to decide a course of treatment.

If the government forces treatment on a child against the wishes of the parent, then let the government pay for the treatment too. Better yet, let's find a way to just stop it from happening.
