First of all Government is NOT allowed to be opressive by the constitution. 2nd the family has the RIGHT to choose the treatment method. I live within 20 miles of where this is happening and the family is treating their son and they have not ruled out chemo but want to give something else a chance.
Government DOES NOT have the right to MAKE you take a treatment. We do not yet live in a police state but those that want to allow government and the judicial system illegally take our rights away deserve what they get, a prison state with no real rights. Farra Fawcett was not forced to take Chemo nor are other adults and adults ALONG WITH the child are trying to treat this the way they want and to give something else a try. How many people have been given a few months to live by their doctor and go to the right place and are alive decades later because of treatments that most hospitals do not have. This is a rural area hours away from any major city.
Those who say that the family does not have the right to seek the treatment that they want should just go to communist russia during the cold war cause that is what they are saying they want the USA to be. Plus I have met few kids this age that if they wanted to do something would not just go and do it even if mom and dad did not want them to. This kid has had several chances to change what treatment he is getting. These doctors and judges should be thrown in jail for the mental and physical torture they have forced on this family and this kid. If this was a dog being treated this way those people would be thrown into jail and fined.
I hate that "it's only 90 minutes" line from Obama, anyone in business knows there are hours and hours involved in prepping, traveling and doing interviews as a result of this sort of political arena. He is just trying to make John McCain sound "chicken." From what I can see, the only one with bird legs in this political race is Obama....an Ostrich.
