Perth family taken to court to force 10 year old daughter to have chemotherapy
A father has been warned by a Perth hospital that if his daughter did not show up for chemotherapy, legal action against the family would commence. Tamar, 10, has had liver and stomach cancer for several months. The family had refused chemotherapy in the belief the natural therapy being used was more effective. The father, an anaesthetic technician at St John of God Hospital in Murdoch, told the court the natural therapy was working and that it would continue in El Salvador, where his wife was from. Chief Justice Martin refused to grant the order to the lawyers, clearing the way for the parents to treat their daughter as they choose.

What do you think? Should we have the right to decide our own course of action and that of our family?
