This is not a matter of health care. It’s a matter of who gets the last word in childs matters. A court can decide that the parents actions or decisions cause harm to the child and take custody of the child at the request of any concerned person. In this case, the concerned person were the doctors.

Without diving into the decisions in that particular case, this is in general something I consider good. There are parents that abuse their children. It’s also something that may lead to unacceptable outcomes, the law is always imperfect.
