"A severely burned Amish woman, treated with home remedies for two days before her family called 911, died of the infected burns, a county coroner said on Thursday.

Ella Miller, 32, was heating water for laundry over a wood fire at her family's house in western Pennsylvania when her clothes caught fire as she was adding kerosene to the blaze, a report by Indiana County Coroner Michael Baker said, according to a spokeswoman."

Do you think that the neighbors were wrong in applyying their own home remedy?

Where does religion take place in medicine?

 Yeah, it is completely wrong. They should have called 911 right away. it is the amish people being ignorant about needing real medical attention that needed to be administered by a real doctor.

Religion has its place in medicine, say your prayers, wish for healing. But let the doctor work his magic.

whose to tell these people how to live their lives, its not harming anyone but themselves right?

i think if it was a child a doctor should have been called right away, but since she was a grown woman she had the right to choose and she chose her religion

 I dont think its a religion, its an ethnic group.

Whatever remedies they used are pretty stupid, religious or not.

Religion, in my opinion is suppose to make life better, not kill you.

 That does not sound like an opinion.

 Sounds like an opinion to me
