In my usual fashion, I followed up on the blog post and read through a few more articles on the story, like this one, this one, this blog post by Jerry Coyne, and http://www.childrenshealth
The consequence of all this (and my reading these stories in the middle of a busy few days of thesis work) was that I completely got wrapped up in the emotional aspects of this and other stories like it, and failed to dig deeper! Was their nemenhah religion really behind all this (in my defense, their website was down when I checked)? What was their experience dealing with his cancer up to this point? A whole slew of other questions a little critical thinking should have brought to mind...
Fortunately, I just saw the post below on the blog Respectful Insolence which points out some of the mistakes which I and others have made in reading into these matters. "Orac" gives very level headed view of the situation, and to me it's a personal reminder that we're all susceptible to loosing our better judgment from time to time.
If you haven't looked over the articles and websites above, I'd suggest giving at least some of them a read before reading this one.
Daniel Hauser and his rejection of chemotherapy: Is religion the driving force or just a convenient excuse?I'll try to post follow-up links on the Hauser case below, as they become available.

when I was younger around 18 or 19 I was really insecure about my penis size and when I got married my wife complained a lot until Dr Ogwu saved me. I used his herbal treatement and now my penis is twice as big. call or whatsapp +2347089963800 or email drogwuchinuwaherbalhome@gmail.com
My marriage of 23years blessed with two lovely children I can't do without was broken because my wife said we should go our separate ways and handed me a divorce paper and court date has already been fixed, I was confused and for the next 4 months was a living hell for me because I find all means to resolve the problem but my wife was not giving me listening ears. One day I was reading some blogs concerning marital problems and how to resolve them when I saw a lady talked about Dr Oyas saying he is a good man who helped her settled with her man after 9 months of separation. I needed help so I copied his contact dropped by the Lady, I wrote Dr Oyas and explained the situation of my home. He made me to understand that my Wife Ex is the one behind my problems and he just have to free my wife from his grip and she will come back to her senses. I did all that I was told to do, though I was skeptical during all this, but after all is done, my wife attitude towards me started to change and she called off the Divorce. Today I have my family back, all thanks to Dr Oyas I am grateful. If you have anything troubling you and want solution, Dr Oyas is your last stop.
