MAID is also for people who live, by some measure, intolerably painful lives for which there isnât a treatment IIRC. Many mental disorders could be classified as such and make someone eligible for MAID. This will disincentivize people from trying to treat these disorders and instead âend peopleâs sufferingâ in a much darker way.
