The Canadian Government Is Starving Disabled People Who Refuse Euthanasia – And The World Is Silent

Fact checked by The People's Voice Community

A severely disabled Canadian man is fighting for his life—not against his disease, but against the socialist state medical system who has decided that he is “useless” and must be forced to submit to the euthanizer’s needle.

Roger Foley, who suffers from a rare neurological condition, says London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario is systematically denying him basic necessities while aggressively pushing him toward “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD).

“They want me dead,” Foley told supporters. “And they’re making sure I suffer until I agree.”

Foley’s ‘scondition, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 14, has left him in constant pain, but he insists he wants to live. The hospital, he says, has other plans.

Staff have repeatedly pressured Foley to accept euthanasia while simultaneously blocking access to food, water, oral medications, safe personal care, and proper lighting accommodations.

“Despite my condition, I have fought tirelessly for my rights, dignity, and the ability to return to the community,” Foley said.

The removal of specialized lighting accommodations has proven especially cruel. Foley suffers from extreme neurological photosensitivity and requires specialized amber-wavelength lighting to safely eat, drink, and take medication. The hospital removed these accommodations last year.

“These accommodations were medically necessary due to my severe neurological photosensitivity and visual disability,” Foley explained. Without proper lighting, he cannot safely perform the swallowing technique needed to consume food or liquids, putting him at constant risk of choking, aspiration, or pneumonia.

“The hospital’s fluorescent and halogen lighting emits high-intensity blue wavelengths that cause intense eye pain and injury,” he said.

Foley has been forced to construct makeshift protective eyewear by taping together three ski-goggle visors, which he can only tolerate for about ten minutes at a time. “Because of my malformed cervical spine, I can only tolerate these heavy goggles for about ten minutes at a time, which allows only minimal hydration but not food or medication,” he said.

The result is that Foley remains dehydrated, malnourished, and in increasing pain.

In a statement posted to his GoFundMe page, Foley detailed the horrific conditions he has been forced to endure. “Since then, I have also been starved of basic care: placed on IV fluids, subjected to ongoing dehydration and malnutrition, repeatedly berated and harassed by staff, violently woken under the guise of so-called ‘checks,’ and assaulted with other abusive tactics.”

His arms are scarred from repeated IV insertions, and his veins keep collapsing. He lives in constant pain, severe fatigue, and cognitive decline from dehydration and lack of sleep. “I never consented to this treatment,” Foley stated. “It is a form of cruel punishment and discrimination that has destroyed my health and quality of life.”

Life Care Network Inc., an independent nonprofit, has now stepped forward to provide Foley with personal support workers inside the hospital. They are helping him access food, oral medication, water, toileting, hygiene support, and basic safety measures.

The organization has already assessed Foley’s specialized lighting and confirmed it is safe for staff, visitors, and care providers. But funding is limited. Foley needs donations to maintain consistent access to independent caregivers. Without them, he remains completely dependent on a hospital that is actively trying to end his life.

Every donation to his campaign goes directly to funding safe, independent care through Life Care Network. “One hundred percent of your donation will directly fund safe and independent care, ensuring I have access to food, water, and dignity while I continue my fight for justice,” Foley said. “My life and survival depend on this care.”

Canada’s MAiD program has become increasingly controversial as stories like Foley’s emerge. Critics warn that the country’s euthanasia framework, one of the world’s most permissive, creates a disturbing incentive structure where healthcare providers may view disabled patients as burdens rather than individuals worthy of care and dignity.

Foley’s case raises urgent questions about why a hospital is allowed to deny basic care while pushing euthanasia, what protections exist for disabled Canadians who want to live, and how many others are suffering in silence.
