Okay.
Both lead to the patient's death. That's true. However, one way of looking at it would be that suicide, in our suicide prevention initiatives, occurs when somebody has a desire to die. In physician-assisted death, the patient is suffering with some sort of illness, and they have a wish to stop living with suffering. It's the suffering component that is one differentiation.
When people have wishes for suicide or even have just clinical depression, they very often are unable to even articulate what might be leading to the feelings of depression. You have people who will say, “I shouldn't be feeling depressed, but I can't stop feeling this way.”
In terms of the evaluative process, this is why we are suggesting that you need people who are properly trained in trying to understand what is leading to the person making the decision. It is the decisional process that is key, not the outcome of it.
