Yeah, they said that in the interview and initially I was convinced. Then Matt Lauer called them out and said they have refused treatment for their child before based on religious convictions. Their attorney was with them and claimed it wasn't because of ther religious views. They didn't deny that they have refused other treatments in the past. I agree and think they are entitled to another doctor's opinion but if that doctor gives the same advice and they refused they are endangering their child's life.
They were also talking about "alternative treatments" so it may they don't want a traditional doctor's advice. It was unclear from the interview.
