Abraham Cherrix, who is battling Hodgkin's disease, a cancer of the lymphatic system, and he refused a second round when he learned early this year that his Hodgkin's disease was active again.
Abraham chose to instead go on a sugar-free, organic diet and take herbal supplements under the supervision of a clinic in Mexico. His parents are okay with this.
Now the local government tried to force the kid to go to his treatments. Hodgkin's disease has a high survival rate. However the treatment can be very painful.
Its up to an adult to make this decision. His parents are okay with this alternative medical treatment with little chance of success. What do you think? Should the Government step in when the parents aren't making a sound choice in the health of their son.
