Thoughts:
A google on this brings the same story up for me, word for word. So, what I can't find is what the family and friends said Madeline wanted/said about her own condition. Did she ever ask to go to a doctor? Also, having been in a public school before, she probably knew what 911 was...funny enough, a search on her name brings up a story about another Madeline Neumann whose do not revive order was ignored.
I suppose I just don't find fault with the parents. Regardless of whether one has the same spiritual beliefs, the question of belief in medicine is debatable as well. Perhaps it's because I just read an article linking the amounts of mercury in vaccines and the rise of autism in our society. Shunning one for the other doesn't seem to be the answer to anything.
At any rate, death is a choice and always has been. I've a mind to reincarnate and hang myself as a three year old just to prove it.
