I think this is a good amendment. I think it's incumbent on legislation and this committee to recognize that there are instances where people have momentary lapses in judgment. Sometimes those lapses last months, sometimes years. They may think that dying is their only way out, their only solution. That simply is not the case in many situations. I would support this amendment. I think it's a great amendment. People should at least go through the process of determining if there's a psychological issue that needs to be addressed.
