Then why go voluntarily on national TV with a made up condition and promote the "works" of Scientology? She could have said it's private matter.

Nobody knows what kind of life they live. You don't know what treatment their son was on. I don't trust the religion they practice, but where is the proof that it caused his death ? It could have very been the same outcome with any religion
