The Freedom to Choose?

by heathervescent

A judge in Virginia must decide who has the freedom to choose. A cancer-fighting teenager called Abraham, doesn't want to go through the horror of chemo-therapy again. Instead he wants to apply alternative medicine to heal his body. When someone turned in the family for not following the doctor's order, a judge found them neglectful and now the family is fighting to follow Abraham's desires.

Abraham explained, "This is my body that I'm supposed to take care of. I should have the right to tell someone what I want to do with this body. I studied. I did research. I came to this conclusion that the chemotherapy was not the route I wanted to take."

Barry Taylor, the family's attorney, said the case had major ramifications not only in Virginia, but also across the nation when it comes to parents' rights to determine what is best for their children.
