A week ago, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition was successful in helping the friends of Joshua (Kulendran Mayandy) gain permission to have Joshua orally fed. Joshua was then able to feed orally without complications, but any other form of feeding (IV or otherwise) continued to be denied. We helped by organizing legal and medical support and a media response to his case throughout North America.
A couple of days ago, Joshua had a seizure. He is now in a semi-coma state and unable to feed orally.
He is not receiving any fluids or nutrition by IV or any other means.
He also appears to be experiencing kidney failure.
It is anticipated that he will die within the next couple of days.
Please pray for Pastor Joshua, his family, friends and members of the Church.

THis is heartbreaking news. Prayers up.
Such sad news. No doubt his body suffered from the days of no nutrtion he was forced to undergo.
May God protect him now and at the time of death.
May the bastards who killed him receive what they will no doubt receive soon, unless they repent. So they will stop killing helpless people.
I’m going to cry and pray now for a while. What is this world coming to when the goverment kills the helpless.
The LORD will not lose a single one of His own.
Prayer said.
Seizures are exactly what happens. (As many of us recall)
*refeeding* after prolonged deprivation is *also* a
quite tricky medical procedure from what I hear.
Those long days of deprivation are what cause this.
I don’t know if Canada allows health care proxies as
many US states do but it’s long past time for many there
to find out.
Isn’t that how many of the victims rescued from the Nazi death camps died? Their rescuers fed them the food they had, not realizing the tragic effect this would have on them. Today’s doctors are fully aware of this, and the proper procedures for restarting food and hydration after extended periods of deprivation.
yes indeed. I personally have my doubts that the staff of
a facility engaged in medical murder are the best
practitioners of rehydration/nutrition.
Yes, their bodies were not prepared for it so they had seizures and went into shock.
Unfortunately, the Canadian death panel ruled that Pastor Joshua could be fed normal food and water ORALLY by members of his church, NOT the medical staff. My guess is that the death panel knew this might happen. Had Pastor Joshua been given IV hydration and nutrition he would probably be doing fine.
I’m going to self censor on this one. Utterly outrageous.
