The right to live or die is very tough, the type of leukemia he had was going to kill him with or without treatment, Because of the sacredness of blood and a resurrection that would give him the chance at everlasting life, he chose to follow Gods way of life rather than to be sick all the time. Example, Moses was one of the richest people in egypt, and yet he wanted to be with his people, Gave all the riches and education and political status up to do Gods Will. And yet God chose him to lead the jews out of egypt 40 yrs later. Jesus could have changed the world but because of his undying love for God sacrificed his life for All Mankind. what this little boy did was right up there with Moses and Jesus. why? He did not want to violate the sacredness of blood as God had decreed.

I know... you wont understand.
