Advocate says hospital is "trying to kill" disabled Canadian by denying basic care

A close contact and primary care advocate of disabled Canadian Roger Foley, who is suffering from a degenerative brain disease and living in “constant pain,” says the hospital he has been staying at for some time is in effect trying to “kill him” by not giving him the care he needs to survive.

Lino DeFacendis, founder of Life Care Network, spoke with LifeSiteNews about the state of Foley, who has been in a Canadian hospital for about 10 years. He is currently at the London, Ontario, Health Sciences Centre.

DeFacendis, who is close to Foley, said that he believes the hospital is “trying to kill him” by denying “his basic care.”

“He has been courageously fighting for a long time,” DeFacendis told LifeSiteNews, “even through much documented evidence and legal correspondence with hospital executives, including the CEO.”

Foley uses amber-wavelength room lighting to be able to see because his body does not do well with the hospital’s fluorescent lights. He is afraid to leave the hospital despite the fact he has been offered euthanasia many times.
