Absolutely.
The data collection right now to pick out marginalization.... This is what we're talking about. The idea that many people still get it for cancer and other things, that's true; but we're expanding it to allow other people to get it for all sorts of other reasons. If we ignore that the marginalized can seek it for reasons different from those of the privileged, that's a problem.
We're not collecting the data properly—or at least it's not being reported—except we have seen some increases in striking things. The largest area of increase, I believe, was the “other” category. That went up to 15%—and that's 15% of 13,000 deaths, I'll remind you. It is now the third most reported category. In that, there is a gender gap' its 17% women to 12.8% men.
The “other” category also includes frailty. You see a similar gender gap, with more women getting MAID for multiple comorbidities, such as arthritis and hearing loss, with 12% versus about 8.3% for males. In all of this, about one-third of people get it citing that they feel they are a burden on their family. There is even more of a gender gap if you then break it down to the non-reasonably foreseeable death, track two, numbers. There, the gender gaps go to up to 60% higher for females than for males.
