It opens the door. Just to be clear, I'm talking about conditions that do not involve a reasonable foreseeability of death.
In the previous session, Dr. Smith spent a lot of time talking about dementia, and I don't understand why we would be going through this mental disorder route. When there's a reasonable foreseeability of death such as there is with dementia, you would go through that route.
I actually don't believe dementia would be excluded if we took out mental disorder.
From personal experience, though, I can say that the darkness that Dr. Masuda talked about is overwhelming. It's painful. It's isolating. It lies to you. It is not the state of mind in which somebody should be making a decision to get married or buy a house or do things in life, let alone end life.
