(Portland, OR)  --  Jury selection begins today in the faith-healing trial of two Oregon parents accused of causing their son's death by refusing to get him medical attention.  Jeff and Marci Beagley are members of the Followers of Christ Church where members rely on spiritual healing, do not take medicine and reject doctors.  The Beagleys' 16-year-old son, Neil, died of a treatable medical condition in June 2008.  The parents are charged with criminally negligent homicide.
