? Genetics? What are you referring to besides her choice of body? Interesting point, though what I think about that is probably different from you. That is to say, I believe we choose our families for the experiences we wish to have while here.

You can believe that all you want...but it doesn't excuse the parents from their responsibility to protect the life of their kid.

Translation: any life that is shortened is wasted? Perhaps this is just the living's interest in keeping the person here? Why is it a stretch to believe that an entity may incarnate to experience a few years and purposely choose a family that would lead to such an "end"?

Who said anything about it wasted? There may have been good that come out of it...but again...that does not justify the parents failing to protect the life of their kid...
Children are not little adults...they do not posses the physical or mental ability to behave as adults...and spiritual theories aside...there is more than enough evidence to back that up.

I'll try not to mention placebo effect. Damn.

Whens the last time a placebo cured a major disease in anyone? Works great for hypochondriacs...

I think you're getting at the word victim and...while it may boggle the adult mind, children are not little people developing a personality. They are coming into tune with this place and some take longer than others. Some are faster in their approach, others average, and still a few that take longer than average. I read that the oldest souls/entities/personalities (whatever you wish to call them) can take the longest to "adjust" to their physical form. Reminds me of how Einstein was up in the years to begin talking. Regardless, this case really is about belief - that of spirituality and medicine. Both can be harmful, both beneficial.

No...the overabundance of one and the lack of the other is not only harmful but fatal. There is no excuse for it when you are playing with somebody else's life...period.
I don't care how long it takes some kids to grow up...barring that this child was some sort of prodigy...there is no possible way for this child to assume that not only are her parents making the wrong decision, but also to gain the courage to go against their wills and then devise a way to check herself into a hospital....AND even if she did manage to do that...there is no way...without her parents consent or a court order could she obtain the long term care needed to keep her healthy and alive...barring the type of miracle that the parents were WISHING for could she have survived even with the cognitive faculties of an adult.
