This story has sparked some interesting discussion on another board I frequent:

This is a good example of how complex the freedom versus safety conflict is to discuss.
Do you have the freedom to refuse medical treatment for yourself on the basis of freewill and/or religeon?
Do you have the right to die from your own stupidity and/or religeous beliefs?
Do you have the freedom to refuse medical treatment for your children on the basis of freewill and/or religeon?
Do you have the right to cause your children to die due to your stupidity and/or religeous beliefs?
Who do your children belong to; you, society, themselves?
Who owns your children; you, society, themselves?
