Ehh, stop picking up certain points and just address the main message. That is, unless you have nothing.
Let me give you another example. Acupuncture is perfectly legal, but if you kill someone, it's illegal. However, that doesn't make the practice illegal. |
There is no main message. Your main message is largely without point.
The man did what he thought was best to save his child's life... and was wrong.
That's actually NOT illegal... nor should it be. A childs health should be in their parents hands... and it should be up to them whther they are correct or not. The only thing that should be illegal is if someone kills their child even though they know otherwise.
You can tell because that was his actual defense. It's why people who don't vaccinate their children aren't arrested when they die. They are doing what they believe is best for their child.
Well not yet anyway.
The new universal healthcare plan mandates vaccination.

My main message definitely has a point. The man probably had good intent. Well, great for him. The problem is that the law doesn't always work on what the person thinks is good intent (see: Hitler). A child's health is in the parent's hands, and that's why the parent should do everything in their power to get a child help if they need it. If a child is on the verge of death, you take them to receive medical care. That's the law. You don't treat them based on what you think is right. Frankly, I think this should be a case of child abuse, but I suppose her death puts it beyond that point.
Good intent does not make something right. I could list a bunch of examples of why this is true, but I think you could do the same.
