But Starchild Abraham Cherrix's (yes, that's his name) is also still a minor and not legally responsible for his own life.  
He has 
Hodgkin's disease.  Without proper treatment he will die.  With treatment he has a better than 85% of a complete cure.  
So what you are arguing for here, is the right of a parent to let their child die while they feed him the "organic diet and herbal supplements" prescribed by a mexican clinic rather than the the standard ABVD chemotherapy regimen.
