I recommend to the committee that you consider inviting Dr. James Downar and Dr. Kieran Quinn, who published an empirical study in the fall of 2025 that looked at all the data around track 2 MAID.
With respect to the question on marginalization, by every metric, MAID recipients are less marginalized than the appropriate comparator. MAID recipients are overrepresented in the highest income quartile relative to the general population of natural deaths. We understand that most MAID recipients are white and educated, and they have means.
As far as statistics on gender go, it is true that there are slightly more women than men availing themselves of track 2 MAID. That tracks with the epidemiology of populations with chronic conditions. Women are more likely to develop these conditions and less likely to die from them. It's not a purely gender-driven issue.
