Life or Death: The Case of Daniel Hauser


A judge in Minnesota has issued an arrest warrant for 13-year-old Daniel Hauser and his momma. Daniel suffers from Hodgkin's lymphoma which at this point is curable, but his family objects to chemotherapy. Daniel's family said they tried chemo but didn't like its side effects so they opted for a holistic path based on Native American healing practices. A doctor testified that he saw Daniel right before he went missing and his condition is definitely worsening. Medical ethicists say parents generally have a legal right to make decisions for their children, but there is a limit. Did I mention that Daniel cannot read? Not sure what that has to do with anything but I bet it factors into his state of mind. Is Daniel's mom wrong for taking his life into her own hands? Discuss...

Yes his parents are worng. He has one of the most curable cancers and he won't do treatment. If Holistic Inidian treamment worked, there would be no cancer, there would be no chemotherapy. I know there are MAJOR side effects to chemotherapy, onE of them being he'll more than likely be sterile, but he'll still have his WHOLE LIFE. i MEAN A whole full life, HE IS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD.
