Though there are really no experts in this discussion, many people have voiced valid arguments regarding the debate. Opinion expressed in an article on a child that had died due to a lack of medical attention:
“parents may not martyr their children based on parental beliefs.”

Rita Swan, the founder of Children's Health Is a Legal Duty (CHILD):
“states give social service authorities the right to go into homes and petition for the removal of children…but cases involving medical care often go unnoticed until too late.”

From a study by the American Academy of Pediatrics:
“the constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion do not sanction harming another person in the practice of one’s religion, and they do not allow religion to be a legal defense when one harms another.”

Man commenting in an article done on a child that had died due to a lack of medical attention:
“If you or I did this to our child, we would be prosecuted.”

Conclusion to an article discussing the death of twelve-year-old Kara Neumann, who died from an easily treatable case of diabetes:
“that little girl wasn’t old enough to make the decision about going to a doctor…and now, because some religious extremist went too far, she’s gone”
