Take the Chemo or Go Without

There is a 13 year old boy who has Hodgkin’s lymphoma and needs to have chemo treatments, but after one treatment has decided against any additional. Now there is a court case going on where his doctor has testified to the fact he needs chemo to live.
Daniel, (the boy) said in the affidavit, reported by the Star Tribune of Minneapolis, "I am opposed to chemotherapy because it is self-destructive and poisonous, I want to live a virtuous life, in the eyes of my creator, not just a long life.’’
Don't worry there is more to this case it is not so cut and dry. Read the whole story.
