When the children of Christian Scientists die from a treatable
illness, are their parents guilty of murder for withholding that
treatment? How should the rights of children, the authority of the
medical community, and religious freedom be balanced? Is it
possible for those adhering to a medical model of health and
disease and for those adhering to the Christian Science model to
enter into a meaningful dialogue, or are the two models
incommensurable? DesAutels, Battin, and May engage in a lucid and
candid debate of the issues of who is ultimately responsible for
deciding these questions and how to accommodate (and, in some
cases, constrain) Christian Science views and practices within a
pluralistic society.
