Chemo is not fun, but neither is dying of cancer. I would think that, at 16, you would try every available option given to you to try and heal and your parents would support you.

If the parents thought that way then yes, this would not be an issue. However they are refusing Chemo altogether. Ironically, if they had avoided all medical care and just let him die naturally this would also probably not be an issue.
