Thank you, Joint Chair.
I don't have enough time to ask all of my questions. As we come to a close on advance directives, I feel like we have so much more to explore. This is a very important and big topic.
Maybe I can focus on the restrictions that are needed to ensure that we really are doing the right things. For instance, under what strict conditions should the arrangements be made for advance directives, and under what conditions should the procedure be abandoned?
We talk about family involvement along the way. I know there are sometimes issues with family involvement, both positive and negative. At what point should an advance directive or a procedure be abandoned? If we're expanding advance directives beyond the waiver of final consent currently allowed, what protections are necessary? I'm focusing on the protections that are needed for a very reliable system.
I'll begin with Dr. Perrot, and then Professor Reiner.
Go ahead, Dr. Perrot.
