Update: Day 7 without food and water... Ontario hospital withdraws hydration and nutrition from man not dying but with disability

Read the sad back story of the man who is being euthanized  by dehydration in Ontario.   I called the number for the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition who broke this story and spoke with
Alex Schadenberg , the director to inquire of Pastor Joshua's condition.
We can look for an update soon as he is traveling to Brampton Hospital tomorrow to speak with Substitute Decision Maker (SDM). This SDM o was approved by the hospital when he or she  indicated support for the hospital decision to withhold hydration and nutrition despite signs of recovery from the stoke and that death was not likely. The first SDM, Pastor Joshua's sister, was rejected by the hospital when she would not agree with their demands. Mr. Schadenberg has some hope due to the fact that the SDM agreed to speak to him. He intends to try to get the SDM to reconsider.
Mr. Schadenberg said that since they (Canada) has universal health care, Pastor Joshua is deemed too expensive following his massive heart attack  even though he is showing signs of recovery without any therapy. As the former post pointed out he can speak in short sentences, move his arms and legs, answer commands with one word and is breathing on his own.

Read this America and learn and pray for Pastor Joshua. This is not a quick and painless way to die. God speed, Mr. Schadenberg.  Readers let Brampton Hospital hear from you.

Everyone needs to strongly respond by sending letters and emails to:
Brampton Civic Hospital - email: communications@oslerhc.org or call the Communications Hotline at: 905-494-2120, ext. 22505.
