There is a lack of guidelines. How MAID has been approached is not the typical way that we, as clinicians, practice medicine. I'll give you an example. When psychiatrists prescribe an anti-psychotic, that's a medication, and there are different guidelines for how they prescribe it and when they prescribe it for someone with severe depression versus someone with schizophrenia or someone with dementia. There are guidelines that the profession follows to reduce variation and to ensure quality of care. Those discussions haven't happened with respect to MAID.
