Thanks for that.

You mentioned how, with respect to understanding irremediability or untangling suicidality from a more reasonably based request, the research is still out.

Is there research under way? Is there a plan? Are researchers looking at these biomarkers and different things? How developed is the research right now? Is this something we're not going to see for decades?

See context to find out what was said next.
