Scenario

When couples face medical decisions across different religious traditions

My husband and I are from different religious traditions and our newborn needs surgery that our faiths view very differently - his family is pushing for prayer-based healing while mine insists on immediate medical intervention and we're caught between traditions we both respect while our baby waits.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Religious conviction and medical urgency create an impossible choice between honoring sacred beliefs and protecting life.
