I just have a comment as we begin here. You've repeatedly said there is no evidence yet on access to MAID for mental illness. I want to state, for the record, that of course there isn't. It's not the law yet, so it's hard to collect the data and the information on a practice that doesn't exist.
I have two questions for you. I'll pose them both, and then you can answer them.
Whom exactly do you represent? Have you actually consulted with all of the psychiatrists in your departments, hospitals or universities, or as chairs? Have you done this?
Second, can you give us either a legal or a medical, clinical definition of “suicide contagion”? Is that a medical fact? Is that a legal construct? What does that mean?
