I only wanted to add, if it's at all helpful to the committee, that in the Benelux laws, which have the broader scope of eligibility for individuals who are chronically but not terminally ill, there is not one of them that distinguishes between mental illness and other types of illnesses. There's no existing law out there that would allow physician-assisted dying for chronic conditions that are not life-threatening, but would exclude individuals with mental illness. It's always an individual assessment of the person's mental competence.
