funnily enough my brother said exactly the same thing when I mentioned this thread to him last night.
as for the topic...I think the devout person at the end of the day will have to look and say that if something is seriously wrong with their child, they must take them somewhere that they can be taken care of.
It's the assumptions that tend to annoy me more then anything else. If he was a medical professional and a devout lover of god I could appreciate his stance slightly more, but it seems like he based it all on guess work.
Then again if he was a medical professional he probably wouldn't have left it get to that stage in the first place.
As the saying goes, God hears all prayers but sometimes the answer is no.
