RE: Should Doctors Be Able to Override a Parent’s Decision and Euthanize a Loved One?
This is such a sticky subject. I think we're walking a very fine line here when we talk about what society should be able to decide for others. The purpose of our laws is to help prevent people from their rights being infringed upon, but things like this can get dangerously close to infringing upon peoples rights.
One could argue that Charlie a child has the right to be protected from unnecessary suffering. Specifically if there is no hope of recovery.
