They need to keep the hell out of this issue. The government does not have the right to interfear in this. If the family has some religious belief against treatment, or the kid is saying "I've been poked and proded enough, I want to be left alone" That's his business.
He should be required to listen to all his options for treatment or no treatment, then the government needs to get the hell out of it. They need to stop meddeling in the personal issues of us citizens.
If he's been given the options and chooses to continue without all the crap they want to do medically, then it's his decision, not some government official.
I also believe in doing everything for my kids and grandkids, but if one of them was in this same situation and decided they wanted to stop treatment, that's what we do and Katy bar the doors if you try to get in the way of their decision.
Just like I've told my wife and kids, if ever something happens to me and it can't be fixed or my quality of life would be impacted, pull the plug, turn off the lights, the party is over, and I fully expect them to honor that request. If they don't and by some means I recover after going through medical hell, somebody is going to have a bloody nose. If I would die after them doing all their medical miracles, I'm coming back to haunt the crap out of someone for eternity.
