Jesus worked many miracles that did not need any medical help and the same goes for the apostles. However, when Jesus spoke in defense of miracles on the Sabbath; for an example he asked what man would not help to get his oxen free from being stuck in a ditch on the Sabbath (my paraphrase). I cannot help but note that he did not say do not help the oxen get out of the ditch, but only pray that God will free the oxen from the ditch.

I have seen miracles that were not only unassisted by any medical help but also overcame what professional medicine could not do for people. However, when it comes to denying medical help we certainly have the right to do so to ourselves. In other words someone diagnosed with cancer has every right to refuse medical help and be willing to die if God does not intervene.

What right society has to say when the faith of a sick child's parents has run its course, and it is time for society to intervene with medical help even when it is against the wishes of the parents is going to be a long argument.

If we allow parents to have the right of decision over life and death concerning abortions it seems to me only fair to give them the same rights over living children. On the other hand if you want to take away the right of the parents to have sole dominion over the care for their children, then you should offer the same protection to the unborn.

Just my $.02 worth

I would go a step further and say it is different to kill your children outright than believe that medical care is wrong.
