BUT! They all have to sign a waiver stating that when the child is crippled for life because of the parent's stupidity, they agree to NEVER ask for, or accept, any gov't. money in any way to assist in future medical care costs.

I figure if the kid croaks, it'll save money in the same gov't money and medical care costs years down the road. I doubt his parental unit(s) are steering him in any good direction anyway.

I'm not sure his life is endangered, just his ability to move.



Yeah, I don't really mean that...but I thought everyone wanted a teeny-tiny government who stays out of people's lives?

Sure, the woman is a crackpot. The kid is no baby, though, he's 16. What does HE want? If he wants what his mother wants we all say he's brainwashed to think like his mother and that we know what is best (see paragraph 1) and if he says he wants the, I don't know, procedures (the article wasn't clear on what isn't happening that should be happening and the mother says he's now fine...who to believe?) then give him the procedure(s), and the gods of medicine can smugly 'fix' him. Case closed.
