Hmmm... a chinese family? The language they speak is neither Cantonese nor Mandarin. It sounds like Thai, but I don't know. Any suggestions?

@sanaesan24 #6 and #5 right back at you hahaha! And I am very happy you read up on logical fallacies... now stop attacking the person (me) and attack the arguments.

@LordMorningStar Instead of mocking this family and snatching the child away, how about working with them and the medical team to find the right answer for everyone. It is possible with intelligence, diligence, respect, and patience... all of which you have yet to develop.

#5 My professor doesn't give a shit what I do, I did openly disagree, and my arguments are logical. I'm not the one using Ad Hominem fallacies in every other sentence to prove his point.

#6 I have wasted enough of my time on you. If you were truly humanistic and worth debating, you would not degrade, dismiss, and disparage the beliefs of others, no matter how far removed from your own they were.

#3 Not ethnocentic huh? So what is"real" science supposed to mean?

#4 Show me the research that suggests young children, even infants, do not feel the effect of trauma years and years later? Because I can show you PLENTY randomized clinical trials (your precious "real" science) supporting the hypothesis that they do.

@LordMorningStar #1 I never suggested that CPS would not have to be involved in this case; this country does have its own set of laws wherein the life of a child is prized over cultural competence. If you had any experience with hospital process, you would know that inevitably this would be the outcome; but the child is not going to die in the few months they allow the family to find their own piece of mind.

#2- I'm not in nursing. So what is it exactly that you "know about"?

[LordMorningStar]

@sanaesan24 I find it hilarious that you have to create an account just to respond to me so that your instructor doesn't get you in trouble? Do you see anything wrong with that? I think you would get more points if you openly disagreed with me and provided logical and reasonable explanations as to why CPS shouldn't be notified immediately and the parents imprisoned for intent to murder. Alas, you are unable to see the world as I do - so all of this is a waste of breath on someone like you :(

@sanaesan24 You can spit, pee, curse, stomp on any drawing and/or painting of any deity ever known (imagined that is) - and not now, not before, not ever in the future anything is going to happen to you as the result of it. Go ahead and test it at home, but record it on tape... in case you get struck by lightning, you will have discovered proof of God's existence! So if god can't be bothered to smite you, what makes you think his monks will heal the girl?
