I would say that I've seen both argued and, frankly, it's another area where people are often just looking at curves without actual statistical analysis accounting for other factors that may affect suicide rates. However, certainly I think you have to be concerned about an increase in suicide rates in the context of MAID.
As I said, my major expertise and research are around public messaging, and when you share with the public the idea that death is an appropriate response to mental suffering, you see more suicides. That's one of the things that the Government of Canada certainly needs to grapple with, if that's the message that is being sent.
