Your Parental Responsibilities

Though I admire the author’s fierce independence, I urge caution.

Yes, parents have the responsibility for their children’s health, but they’re also held accountable when they fail to apply a basic level of reason in these duties.

In particular, there are parents who are criminally indicted for rejecting basic science in favor of whatever religious cults they may be participants in and winding up with dead kids.   For instance, there are Christian Scientists who, on religious grounds, didn’t get their kids clearly needed medical care on the basis of their belief that faith in Christ is the only legitimate healing power, who are now in prison.

My advice: Calm down, and apply reason and science to protect your children.
