A disabled man is campaigning to prevent state-funded doctors from euthanizing him under the Canadian government’s radical “assisted suicide” laws.
Roger Foley says he’s being pressured to die after spending nine years in a hospital.
He revealed that the state-funded facility is now pressuring him to choose euthanasia over supportive care.
Foley, who suffers from a severe neurological condition known as spinocerebellar ataxia, told LifeSiteNews that staff at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) in Ontario have repeatedly attempted to railroad him into Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) against his wishes.
“They (hospital staff) have resumed pressing suicide and MAiD questioning upon me, despite my repeated objections and pleas not to push it on me,” Foley said.
He described the questioning as intrusive and invasive, detailing how staff even raised the subject during personal care moments:
“Staff have become so fixated and inappropriate with pushing suicide-related questions that they’ve asked them while I was undergoing bloodwork and even during the cleaning of a bowel movement from my bed.”
Foley says the staff habitually ask if he’s feeling “suicidal,” knowing it often leads to discussion of euthanasia.
“They try to with suicide questioning every now and then, but I won’t engage with them because I know from my history in the hospital that their suicide questions lead to them bringing up MAiD,” he explained.
Foley has been hospitalized since 2016 due to complications from food poisoning and remains at LHSC.
However, he desperately wants to go home with personal caregivers.
He explained that he has been persistently offered euthanasia over the years, rather than being given proper support to leave the hospital.
His condition has worsened recently: the hospital replaced amber lighting with bright lights, which exacerbated his neurological symptoms.
