NEWS From My Perspective!

May 25-2009:

A couple fled the country to Mexico, to avoid a Court Order for chemotherapy for their son.

I don't know the details or gravity of this matter. But I will speculate that maybe, just maybe, the parents have religious or misguided scruples about the right, necessity, or moral concerns for this child health or survival, to try and evade this responsibility.

I also know that there are cases where individuals have refused to have an operation on their person, because of religious convictions.

And I ask myself, who or what gives anyone the right to prevent any medical help to prolong or save another person's life, especially if that person is a minor or a child?

And why should anyone use their religious convictions to deny medical assistance or help to a relative or sibling, that is in dire need of that help?

These are questions that bother me dearly, as I ponder these concerns!

Individuals should stop for a moment and ask themselves if their GOD would approve or deny another of his creatures, the right to LIFE, because some other of his creations feel, that it conflicts with his/her religious convictions.

Furthermore, religious convictions have nothing to do with one's belief in any God or Allah.
