When the children of Christian Scientists die from a treatable illness, are their parents quilty of murder for withholding that treatment? This text debates the issues of who is ultimately responsible for deciding such questions and how to accommodate Christian Science views and practices.
Three medical ethicists take varied and often opposing stands on the ethical, social, and political issues that arise when religious and medical practices conflict. The interchange focuses on the tensions between the belief systems, institutional practices, and health-related decisions of Christian Scientists and those of a secularized medically oriented, broader society.
