A prominent Christian author in Canada has gone public after being bullied by medical professionals for refusing to allow them to euthanize her because she suffers from cerebral palsy.

In 2019, an Alberta nurse reportedly tried to pressure Heather Hancock into signing up for euthanasia through the Canadian government’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.

However, when 56-year-old Hancock refused to allow doctors to end her life, the nurse blasted her for being “selfish.”

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Hancock said that she was shamed and bullied for refusing MAiD at Medicine Hat Regional Hospital in Alberta.

According to Hancock, during a lengthy hospital stay in 2019 for a bout of muscle spasms, a nurse told her while helping her to the bathroom that Hancock “should do the right thing and consider MAiD.”
