These parents obviously aren't making unbiased, accurate decisions. So I'll trust the people who have the medical degrees.
True, but at least parents have a larger right to make biased decisions on behalf of their children.
What it comes down to to me is a matter of trust. I do not trust the government enough to want to give them the ability to take away a parents rights except in the most clear cut cases. Since the sure quantity of different possible scenarios involving medical treatment is vast, you have to make general rules, which leaves large room for poor interpretations.
