After a long discussion with our
legal counsel concerning the possible legal avenues that we could take to stop
the dehydration of Joshua (Kulendran Mayandi) the Euthanasia Prevention
Coalition has determined that a legal action is possible.
For those who have not followed the
story of Joshua, he is a pastor of a small pentecostal church in Brampton
Ontario who is currently in the Brampton Civic Hospital (William Osler Health
Centre) where IV fluids, nutrition and medicine has been completely withdrawn
since August 17.
The problem is that the cost of a
legal intervention, which may or may not be successful, is significant and
the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition needs to know if we will have the
financial support of our donors and members to go ahead with this endeavour?
Our original goal was to convince
the court appointed Substitute Decision Maker (SDM) to change his mind and have
the IV re-inserted.
Time is running out. If action is
not taken soon, Joshua will begin to die.
You need to know that Joshua was a
loved pastor. The members of the Church have been with him constantly.
