Having said that..... Many people who are (rightfully) charged with vehicular manslaughter probably had no malicious intent either AND are really nice people.

I made the misstake of showing this story to my wife (who knows a bit more about medical "stuff" than I do) and she went (predictably) ballistic. A simply blood test followed by a shot of insulin, and she would be alive today.
We will never know HER wishes in this. An episode of Law&Order which aired about 10 years ago dealt with this topic. They ended up prosecuting the parents for murder AFTER discovering that the child actually called for help at one point (which was heard on the 911 call, which itself was used as evidence -after all, why call 911 if you think all that is needed is faith?)

Many years ago my father knew a man who was 'healed' at a William Brahnam crusade. He died the same way as this little girl. Completely unnecessary.

Why do we think it so wrong and possibly criminal when it happens to a little child but when a person does it to themselves we always pass it off by saying "Well I disagree but admire their stand."?
