The reporting of those who request and complete death via physician-assisted dying should include statistics about gender, for sure. We're certainly aware that the population is aging, and women tend to live longer than men and tend to live poorer than men in terms of their resources. Some women who are at that age now are from generations that were trained and socialized to not think highly of themselves, to defer, and things like that.
So yes, we should be careful; however, I think we should consider that health professionals have accompanied patients through very difficult situations for a long time and have a lot of experience with carefully building a relationship, a rapport, and going through a consent process in planning how one's dying and one's care at the end of life should be. I think we should allow that we are already pretty good at a lot of that. I don't think we need to learn a lot of extra new things, but of course we should take great care—
