Doctors are bound to do no harm. They have every right to refuse to offer treatments, etc. And the parents at the same time have the right to seek other opinions and treatment for their child.
But in this case the state medical bureaucracy took away the decision from the parents, preventing them from seeking treatment in the USA.
You may agree with the state's decision, but it stepped in and took away the right of the parents for doing what they thought best, when the had the means and tteatment was available.
It was a decision over cost. It stinks, is immoral, and unethical, as is most socialized medicine.
