You're asking me to prognosticate on the research and science of mental health conditions. I don't think I can definitively say what the timelines are for us to really tackle and articulate some of these key things, particularly irremediability, for example.
For irremediability, I would say that we do not have sufficient evidence to prognosticate. There are still debates on differentiation of diagnoses among psychiatrists, and assessment.... Until we have solid research to identify people's trajectories and biomarkers and to improve our diagnostic and clinical assessment tools, the notion of providing safeguards for MAID for mental illness.... It will be severely limited. We're saying “indefinitely” because the timelines for the evidence to mature—to have that stability and safety.... It will take a significant amount of time.
I don't think kicking the can down...another three years, as you said, will substantially make a difference, because we need to invest significantly in research.
