What happens if there was a child dying of cancer,would you give him treatment or pray for him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not an either or: There are a variety of treatment modalities in any case of a terminal disease. One basic idea is not to do things that prolong the process of dying, while doing the things that preserve the quality of the life that is left.
