This man went viral after applying for Canada's new euthanasia program but after outpour of support he decided not to follow through with it

I love this! I just absolutely love it!

You can't really see the headline there, so here it is: "Man No Longer Considering Medically-Assisted Suicide Over Poverty Issues After Outpour Of Support"

Again, I love it!

This is a product of what we at The Bee Family like to call "ridiculing bad ideas" — the bad idea here being Canada's new assisted suicide program.

See, this man went viral on Right Twitter last week when a video emerged showing him in preparation for his medically-assisted suicide which would be provided by the Canadian government via their new Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program.

Here's the video that was all over Right Twitter just last week:

"I don't want to die but I don't want to be homeless more than I don't want to die," Farsoud, who suffers from a debilitating back injury, said.

Very sad.

So the Right then decided to shine a light on this particular attempt at assisted suicide, because it was so depressing and wrong.

And the results?

Now, Farsoud tells the outlet he is a "different person" after more than $60,000 was raised via a GoFundMe started by a stranger named Effy.

Amazing what can happen when good people pay attention!

What a great story!

This dude's life was saved by the internet!

And since we can all share in being happy about this, I'll go ahead and leave you with these statistics, which hopefully in the future we can have an impact upon as well:

In 2021, MAID cases accounted for 3.3% of deaths in Canada, according to a report by Canada Health. The number of cases grew by 32.4% from what it was in 2020. The total number of reported deaths from the practice in Canada since MAID was approved in 2016 has climbed to 31,664.

We got a lot of work to do, folks!
