A Judge Deciding Your Medical Care?

May 25, 2009 21:45

I realize this is a Yahoo news story, and may not be completely accurate, but the idea of a judge deciding your medical care for you is outrageous... if you want to pursue a course of treatment different from the mainstream, you should be allowed to do so.
The mother of this teenager was considered a fugitive for trying to get her son the best treatment she believed in.  At least, that's how I see the story.  I could be missing something?
When does a judge have the authority to order chemotherapy for you?!
