On the issue of irremediability and suicidality, Dr. Gupta, in the case of irremediability, says that psychiatrists are equipped to make judgments on a so-called case-by-case basis, exercising their clinical judgment.
With respect to suicidality, Dr. Gupta has asserted that there is no issue in terms of determining that of a rational request from one motivated by suicidal ideation, because supposedly, psychiatrists do this all the time.
I'd be interested in your comments in response.
