Death by Ignorance

Earlier this week an innocent 11 year old Wisconsin girl died a horrible death because of her parents ignorance. She died of a form of diabetes. Her insulin was too low. It was that simple and that easily treatable, but her parents thought that praying to God for healing in lieu of seeking medical attention was the way to go. Because of them, and because of whoever taught them this nonsense, their child is dead.

Bafflingly, some ethicists say that the case isn't clear. Huh? This child died horribly because her parents wouldn't take her to the doctor. It's not like they couldn't afford it and didn't have access to medical care. They simply didn't believe in it. They should be prosecuted. What a tragedy...
