So what say you on this? As the article reads, most states have a mature minors' doctrine allowing minors to make their own medical decisions. But I guess because she ran away, they figured she's acting just like a normal minor and not a 'mature' minor. I kind of feel as if she's only now able to make her own decisions on the rest of her medical care and alternative medical routes mainly because they gave her the chemotherapy in the first place.
In essence, she's alive enough to complain and sorta comes off as ungrateful for the privilege the living have..to complain about their life.
