Court forces 17 year old to take Chemo treatments against her will

court made the right decision

i can guarantee that if she was at her deathbed, after refusing treatment, she'd go into a sobbing panic of "WHY DID YOU LET ME DO THIS"

Sure, but that's kind of a given; if she takes it and still is on her deathbed, the results will be the same or worse. Using that as a reason is just using emotions to sway opinion. I think the mother is an idiot and it seems like the girl is more scared of upsetting her mother than doing what she wants, but the court is also wrong, they are "doing the right thing for the wrong reason", it's coincidental that what they are doing is correct, because they would have done the same thing if the girl had made the decision completely for herself.
