Teenager from Faith-Healing Family Dies
[Quote:]
A 16-year-old boy whose family relies on faith rather than medical treatment has died after suffering from stomach pain and shortness of breath, police said.
Gladstone, Ore., police said the boy’s relatives, members of the Followers of Christ Church, told police that he had refused medical treatment after becoming ill a week ago. Under state law, anyone over 14 has the right to refuse treatment.
If it weren’t so deeply sad, I’d say it’s evolution in action…
