Of course, there is the issue of suicidal ideation, but my understanding of medical assistance in dying is that, just because I make a request, it doesn't mean I'm going to get the response I want. There are a lot of steps involved. As the Association des médecins psychiatres du Québec said, the decision should be made based on the person's history. I think a person who has suicidal thoughts and really wants to end it is going to take action anyway. You have to listen to them and check that with them.
