Nine days after his food and water were halted in the hospital where he is being treated, and less than 24 hours after WND highlighted the plight of Pastor Joshua Kulendran Mayandy, he has been fed.
A report from Alex Schadenberg, director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, today confirmed the patient who has been hospitalized since a heart attack in May was given sustenance.
"After meetings with our legal counsel, several doctors and a lawyer from the Christian Legal Fellowship, a major breakthrough happened today," Schadenberg reported. "The court-appointed Substitute Decision Maker (SDM) has given permission for a nurse, who is a member of the church, to feed Joshua orally.
"Today, Joshua was fed orally and I was told it went very well," he reported.
