Yes it's justifiable depending on the circumstances. For example, if I had a child who says they are transgender and a doctor wants to treat them for that by allowing them to transition, I'd definitely disagree and not allow it.
Ah, the typical loved-filled Christian.
Oops, misspelled "hate-filled". My bad.
Yeah, I don't see letting a child transition before they can even spell the word "transition" a "love-filled" decision.
@JenSCDC children are too young to both make that kind of life changing decision or know what they want from life. Allowing a child to make that decision is not what strikes me as a love filled decision
No. That is kind of neglect if you think about it. Not attending to a child needs because of your beliefs.
No being dumb doesn't justify the need for you having the right to refuse medical treatment of your child. That's literally child abuse.
No religious people are unfit parents and should have there kids taken away
No and religious people are just evil and backwards
They love killing their kids while they claim to be pro life
yes they should be allowed to do so, just as much as they should be allowed to watch their kid die when it backfires in their face
If it mess with the child life or well being. No they shouldn’t and a legal action should be filed against them
No when a life is in danger you should always save that life no matter what
Nope. It's not their lives on the line, and it should be considered as child abuse.
No. Because a book doesn’t know the illnesses of the future.
Yep, there children their descisions, the government has no right to tell parents ANYTHING about their child
I think that depends on the facts of the case. Parents shouldn't be able to refuse treatment if it's clearly in the child's best interest.
If such a religion exists where it prevents people from getting treated then why are they following it in the first place?
Why is it that human beings can
detect fairy tales with complete certainty when those fairy tales come
from other faiths, but they cannot detect the fairy tales that underpin
their own faith? Why do they believe their chosen fairy tale with
unrelenting passion and reject the others as nonsense?
Yes. The government shouldn't force parents to get medical treatment. I think holistic medicine is better.
It's their religious beliefs, in my opinion you shouldn't push your religious beliefs to anyone so no they shouldn't.
Every person has the right to make that decision once they are 18
No. Not at all.
It is child abuse through neglect. Not acceptable!
Nope. A innocent little child should not be corruped by a senseless religion
fuck no
they should want to save their child's life, not let them die
No, lol. That's an idea that's frankly not even worth entertaining.
No, but the government shouldn't be allowed to refuse medical treatment to a child, either. #UK
Parents should CERTAINLY be allowed to refuse VACCINES due to their beliefs, religious or otherwise
i guess you want small pox and polio to run rampant like it used to.
no!! we mustn't mix religious with science... we must prioritise realities rather than anything else
No. Screw your religious belief's. Your children come first.
Well then I guess I'll murder some people because I think they are possessed by the devil
Absolutely not. Believe in whatever you want but let the kid be healthy
Idiocy religion is the biggest pile of garbage on earth
That's ridiculous that shouldn't be allowed
Two words: District attorney
have fun watching your kids die ig 😔👊
No. That's child abuse.
They can. But it’s not advised
Nope, it's not justifiable at all
No. It is dangerous for the child.
Only with signed consent of their deity.
If it is required to save a life then no
YES, if it goes against their beliefs...
A born life is stronger than ones beliefs.
You would risk someone’s life to avoid going against someone’s beliefs?
@KoshkaKitten Yes, There are few cases where this comes up. But there is always an alternative. No blood to be used, there are other things they can use. Usually with better out comes. Giving blood is like putting a foreign body into your system , your anti bodies fight it , also the different things people take, that put you at rise of HIV, HEPERTITIS , and others...
I didn’t say “because there might be a better solution” or “because there are risks” and neither did you in your original answer which is what I’m addressing. I asked if you would risk someone’s life to avoid “going against someone’s beliefs”? Even if we ignored that point in which case we’re not even answering the original questionnaire , if a child was badly injured, bleeding out and going to die without a blood transfusion you would let them die because the transfusion might carry a risk?
@KoshkaKitten NO , But the transfusion carries as many risks. One of my daughters is in the British Navy. She is a chief petty officer in charge of intensive care and high dependency. Has served in Afganystan plus other war situations. In times like that they don't have the luxury of getting blood typed or keeping it at the correct tempreture. , They use saline and HPO , one to expand the volume the other get the boy to create red blood cells quicker. So saving the soldiers life ….
It's ridiculous. Not logical at all.
They should go to jail for that
Give me some example of it.
I heard of a certain religion refusing blood transfusions because of belief, don't remember which one.
If they were in a near fatal accident they're likely going to get a transfusion without consent
@CliffhangersAre I don't know any religion that refuses medical treatment. Don't go with rumors;
There is mostly four religion and I have never heard of anyone who refused the medical treatment. It is not about religion, but it depends upon education. Yeah, it totally depends on education. But I can imagine some few situations that this might happened; Not really I can't think of anything at this point.
Mate jehovas witness refuse blood transfusions. All that took was a 2 second Google search. Now check out the other religions that refuse treatment. Not to mention hardcore Catholics not vaccinating their kids which isn't a recorded statistic
@CliffhangersAre oh I never knew some Christianity religious (catholic) have problem with health treatment. Some people never learn anything.
Yeah it's beyond insane
Religious parents should be exterminated
What fucking religion is that?
Rastafarians, Mormons to name two off the top of my head.
That's bullshit, no child should stay sick because some retard thinks medicines are bad.
No as it is child abuse as far as I'm concerned.
Yes. It’s their right
No, and parents who do should be lobotomized.
No they should not
it would clean out the gene pool..
That’s so wrong.
FUCK NO
yeah
Absolutely not.
absolutely
NOT
That’s called abuse
Nope
Not at all
Absolutely Not...
