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.”
She added that doctors warned her she was “being selfish” for refusing euthanasia.
They also reportedly told the successful author that she is “not living” but “merely existing.”
Hancock recalled feeling “gobsmacked” and told the nurse that her life had value even if she spent most of it in a wheelchair.
“You have no right to push me to accept MAiD,” she says she told the nurse.
“They just view me as a drain on the medical system and that my healthcare dollars could be spent on an able-bodied person,” Hancock told the Daily Mail.
In addition to the alleged 2019 incidents, Hancock says she has been routinely encouraged to end her life via euthanasia.
She revealed that she feels reluctant to seek advice from medical professionals due to the consistent efforts to railroad her into being euthanized.
Hancock says she has been encouraged to take MAiD on three separate occasions since Canada launched its euthanasia program in 2016.
