Thank you. That's very interesting.
In terms of mental illness as the sole criterion for exclusion, the more evidence that I hear, the more I feel obligated as a legislator to look further into the issue.
There's a difference between mental illness, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. Not all cognitive disorders can be categorized in the same way.
As legislators, we must establish beyond a shadow of a doubt a patient's capacity to give free and informed consent and to confirm the validity of this consent. However, in light of what I've heard to date, I can't yet comment on the issue of mental illness.
That's why we definitely want to continue the reflection process after the bill is passed. We want to do this now, and not in four years. This reflection process could include the whole issue of neurodegenerative diseases.
