I would be terrified if we actually fell to that normalization of thinking, that more women than men should get MAID for psychiatric conditions. We know that twice as many women as men attempt suicide when depressed. Most do not die by suicide. Most do not even try again. The obvious concern is about whether we are converting a transient suicidality to a permanent death by MAID. We see that in Netherlands. Again, there's evidence that has not been brought forward here that about twice as many women as men in the Netherlands are getting MAID for psychiatric conditions.
You know, in terms of more women than men having some of these conditions, and that being used as a justification for why we may see some more track 2 women, or even people in socially marginalized situations getting track 2, if a drug company made a pill that mistakenly ended the lives of more women than men and the lives of people who showed markers of suicidality like social suffering, I cannot imagine that we'd say it was then okay that more women were dying since they were more likely to have chronic conditions anyway. None of these women on track 2, or on MAID for mental illness, would have otherwise died. We would be facilitating their death.
