Christian Science: A Reason to Die? Christian Science is the practice of healing illness and disease strictly through prayer and the belief that all disease are caused through a reflection on one’s character. Christian scientists do not go to doctors when they are sick, they pray. Many people have died from their illness because the simple fact that they neglect to help themselves or others through the use of modern medical practices. In this discussion, the problem is with the dying children. These children of the Christian Science church seem to be neglected in the eyes of people who do go to doctors and do get help when they are ill. From the readings, I have discovered that the parents of these children are, in essence, murderers. However, I am split between the decision of right and wrong and who goes where. On one side, I cannot judge these people for the way they decide to live their lives or for what they choose to believe in.
