Adam Maier-Clayton lives in constant pain and wants to die.
The 27-year-old business school graduate has battled anxiety, mood disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder since he was a child.
He says his debilitating pain feels like parts of his body are being burned by acid. Despite a host of treatments, some of them experimental, his agony has only worsened in recent years.
Fed up with the torment, Maier-Clayton wants doctors to help him end his life. But Canada's assisted dying laws, which came into effect last summer, do not apply to people with mental illness. ...Adam, your solution is not in suicide. The CBC is not your friend. They just gave you your 15 minutes of fame. Now, lawyers and euthanasia (murder) advocates will come to "help" you to kill yourself. Then, when you die, you will experience a second death.
Adam, your solution is in Jesus Christ. Your shirt states, "atheist." That is your first problem. You have been lied to by society. You are hated by those who want you to take your life. Those who told you that there is no God have lied to you, they want you to die. These advocates don't care about you, the media does not care about you.
Jesus does. Christians do. Jesus loves you. Christians love you.
Jesus wants you to live. He wants you to live now and with him forever.

Adam, come to Jesus. Write me at voxcantoris(at)rogers(dot)com. I will put you in touch with a priest who will help you.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I
am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

1. Let's all say a Rosary for Adam.
2. Vox, please send me that most beautiful picture, so I can print and frame it. :)
This poor man. I hope he doesn't choose to end his own life! It is a shame that our health system and doctors have NO ANSWERS For him. They are going to be even less motivated to find cures or relief from these conditions ...because we all know what is cheaper! I hope the Holy Spirit leads him down a different path
The first problem is spiritual. That is the problem for all of us. All of us, every man, woman and child must be baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All of us must live a life pleasing to God in love, in justice, in truth founded in prayer and in the Sacraments.
The physical problem can also be solved. God can heal. God can heal not only spiritual wounds, but physical and mental wounds.
Pain is not something God desires, it is a result of our original sin. Pain can be managed with the right medical care, with the right pain management. If it cannot be managed or if God does not grant a "miracle," what He gives is the grace and strength and courage to bear it.
Please Adam, do not go the route of suicide. Please. Christians will help you.
Excellent post Vox. Keep up the good work!
St. Columba
Adam, please find a way to come to the United States. Our health care system has been dealt a blow by Obamacare, but we still do have superb care and experts in many medical fields. There must be a way to address your pain. Start a Go-Fund me page to see if you can raise funds that way if money is a problem. Pain experts may be a place to start. Contact medical universities such as Emory in Atlanta, they all know who is good at what.
Your life is important, and you ought not leave til God calls you home. Life is relatively short, but eternity is long. Play the long game. Do not listen to atheists, they are the lost leading the lost.
God bless you and may He help you.
Well said Vox You are a loving and compassionate man. I keep you both in my prayers
No one asked for you to shove your beliefs down his throat. He's actually trying to make a difference in a law written unfairly, not just for himself. As if Jesus will keep him from dying one day anyway.
Dear Lilith,
You satanic masonic little liberal fascist. I'm going to allow your moronic comment and tell you off.
No one asked you to come on here and post. I have not shoved my beliefs down his throat any more than you are shoving your hatred for Christ down mine.
Your very comment shows how I pricked your conscience. Somewhere deep down inside of your distorted mind, you know you are wrong. If it were not so, you would have ignored this post. You soul and your mind are possessed by evil. You will die and go to Hell.
You too are a child of God. You worship satan and you will dwell with him in Hell and in eternity. You have choice.
Make it.
Get behind me Satan!
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with Thee.
Blessed are thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus!
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
Now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
St. Michael the Archangel,
Defend us in battle,
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
thrust into Hell,
Satan, and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world seeing the ruin of souls.
Amen.
I am not a Christian. Having said that, while I understand and even commend the love and concern shown for a complete stranger (something often lacking in many who claim to be religious) I would hope that you wouldn't want your beliefs used as a reAson to keep people suffering in an unbearable amount of pain, when they can be helped. We don't even let our dogs and cats suffer that way. We lovingly help them pass when nothing more can be done.
This man ended his life on his own. And he probably suffered because he didn't have acsess to a medical doctor to do it the right way.
As I said, I don't believe In god, but if he was real I have serious doubts he would punish someone for being unable to continue in pain.
You have quite the work view of God as if he would punish someone for being unable to continue in pain. Do you know what crucifix is? Since Jesus was God incarnate I don’t think you need tell him about what pain is. How great a pain is it for God when he sees our choices that end up sending us into damnation and apart from him because we choose to murder somebody under some lie of mercy killing or we choose to ask for it which in reality is suicide. Do you think we want to see people needlessly suffer? People have a right to proper palliative care people don’t have a right to kill somebody in order to end their life. The fact is we really do care. I care about you as an atheist because I know that it doesn’t matter what is in your heart objectively speaking when you die you will go to hell I don’t want that for you therefore I’m going to be blunt I’m not going to sugarcoat it I’m not going to be sweet and sappy I’m going to tell you the truth. God exists he created you it is your duty to come to him for salvation much of it is a mystery but it doesn’t change the truth so you’ve gotten the truth I’m not gonna need to make a choic.

If you want to stay in darkness and chance your eternal existence and go right ahead it’s your choice but I’ve told you what the truth is and if you’re interested In knowing the truth why don’t you just ask God why don’t you just get down on your knees and pray this, God father son and holy spirit I don’t know you I don’t know if you’re real I don’t know if you exist but I ask you sincerely in my heart if you do exist help me find you .
As far as saying that love is lacking in most people who claim to be religious I’ve heard that old canard pretty much too. Yes there’s lots of hypocrites in church but know this there’s always room for one more
