When the children of Christian Scientists die from a treatable illness are their parents guilty of murder for withholding treatment? This is a discussion of who is responsible for deciding those questions and how to accommodate or constrain Christian Science views within a pluralistic society.
When the children of Christian Scientists die from a treatable illness are their parents guilty of murder for withholding that treatment? Is it possible for those adhering to a medical model of health and disease and for those adhering to the Christian Science model to enter a meaningful dialogue, or are the two models incommensurable? Battin, DesAutels and May discuss who is ultimately responsible for deciding those questions and how to accommodate (and in some cases, constrain) Christian Science views and practices within a pluralistic society.
