On behalf of my mom and dad and sister, Dr. Gaind, I'd like to ask you a question. You mentioned that the idea that we can reliably separate suicidality from a MAID request, or even predict that a mental illness is truly irremediable, is, in your words, “snake oil”. That's a pretty serious warning.
Can you walk us through what the evidence actually shows? How often do doctors get these predictions wrong? How much overlap is there between someone who is suicidal and someone who would qualify under psychiatric MAID?
