Thank you for your question.
It's very important to remember that very few countries have allowed that. If you look at the data very carefully and look at the legal framework in Netherlands, you see that a person still has to go through a number of treatments. The provider can actually stop. That's one part that's not in the Canadian legislation. In Canada, you can think about the options as far as treatments go, but you don't have to go through them, and there have been significant concerns internationally about people dying in some of those countries.
Again, internationally, the International Association for Suicide Prevention, the American Psychiatric Association and the vast majority of countries in the world do not allow MAID for mental illness.
