That doesn't really make me smile. The name, sort of. But the story not so much. The child should be able to make his own decision about what kind of treatment he undergoes for his cancer. He's old enough to know the consequences of not listening to the doctors. Courts shouldn't be able to rule that he has to take any kind of treatment. It's not like his parents didn't tell him about the chemo, so how is it negligence? :-/

I don't have an opinion. I skimmed the article. The name stuck out to me.

Why would I think cancer's funny?

His name is Starchild. That's funny.

The name o_O

He's 16 he should have some say. Treatment is guaranteed to work.

That should say isn't. (I don't know how to edit)

A name like Starchild and his parents are against alternative treatment? Who woulda seen THAT coming?

[super-bitch06.livejournal.com]

His parents arent against the alternative treatment. Social Services is claiming negligence because the parents support the alternative treatment. Once again, the government sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong. Roar.

Funny name...sad story. :( But at least if he had chosen to not live a hippy or "alternative" style life, as it seems he has chosen to do, he has a nice solid name like Abraham to fall back on!
