"The Oregon House approved a bill
Thursday that would remove legal protection for parents who choose
faith healing over medical intervention when treating their children."
"Currently, spiritual treatment can be used as a defense against some* homicide charges." "The bill has gained the support of several groups, including the Christian Science Church, and passed through legislative committee with unanimous support." http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/03/bill_ending_faith_healing_exce.html |

We've been to the moon, check. We have pictures from the surface of Mars, check. And only now we've decided "faith healing" is baloney. How did we get this far??? Bill |

Some people do believe that bullshit and all it does is kill their kids. God created intelligence, which means God created medicine and doctors. People need to fucking use them. |

Cases like this are a mess because of the cases brought to court by Santaria, with their animal sacrifice, and Uniao de Vegetal, with their ayahuasca.
I don't know how far back using religion as a defense for murder goes, but I'm sure that animal sacrifice and hallucinogenics being ok made it at least a logical legal lever. |

I don't see any logical way those two cases could be seen as precedent for defense in homicide cases, unless we also have a precedent that moves children into the same legal category as animals. |

We let people kill animals and tell the DEA to fuck right off, in the name of religion. What you're not seeing is that this is a difference of degree, not kind. |

I'm on the fense on this one. I hold people's right to parent their kids a lot higher than what science or government tells us to do. If you think praying for your kid is better than chemo or surgery or radiation, well, I wouldn't say that's a slam dunk issue.
Of course using this clause to justify murder is different. We had that kid here in MN who's parents went on the lamb a while back. I don't they she was trying to murder her kid. I wonder how arfcom feels about the Amish not wanting to use technology to treat their kids if they are sick. |
