Faith-healing Teen Refuses Treatment, Dies

Item: Teen-ager from faith-healing family dies in Oregon /Associated Press

More Info: Authorities say a teenager from a faith-healing family died from an illness that could have been easily treated, just a few months after a toddler cousin of his died in a case that has led to criminal charges. Tuesday’s death of 16-year-old Neil Beagley, however, may not be a crime because Oregon law allows minors 14 and older to decide for themselves whether to accept medical treatment.

Question: Do you believe in faith healing?
