Missy, I agree with most of your letter, but I strongly disagree when you say "I see how they can make them take him for the treatments....." What gives them the right to make parents take a child for treatments? Who made them boss? Esp. when the treatments are dangerous and have outright killed many patients. In this supposedly "free" country why are we not entitled to make our own healthcare choices. You cannot chose a naturopath for your dr. either. Even though we are beyond the year 1984, we have become conditioned to "newspeak" in which words no longer mean what they used to and freedom is fast becoming a mere memory. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
