I went to http://www.nemenhah.org and skimmed the site... I think they need to consider or find out the Organic Success Ratio compared to Radiation Treatment, and the Nemenhah Members consider an ELDER as the person RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SITUATION regardless of age. If a 10 year old is leading an old Blind-man, the 10 year old is the ELDER in this case. Therefore, the 13 year old tried KEMO... didn't like it, and has the right to ALTER the treatment because he is the ELDER(Person Responsible) for the quality of HIS OWN LIFE!
It's VERY unfortuneate he has CANCER. He has the right to decide what treatment is right for him, as well as, according to Nemenhah Law, NOBODY OVERIDES THE PARENTS! Unless they are threating to physically MAME, or KILL, the children... They "may" be making a bad CHOICE, but that's not a crime...
