Till 18,parents takes dicision on behalf of children.
Additionally you have nothing to offer in this case.
Had it been a curable disease , court order would have been appropriate.

i'll go for C.
without the treatment the child is sure to die and physician has to take a decision against the wishes of the parents if their choice is limb/life threatening for the child.
