Yes, like catching people with nets who jump off bridges (and a vast majority are thankful of it).

MAID is the net in the context of impulse driven suicide. If a person’s natural death is not reasonably foreseeable, there is a 90 day assessment period.

The government defines reasonable to save money. I’m surprised at people who think bureaucrats like those from the motor vehicle licensing departments will be able to handle such decisions.

Catching people who jump off bridges doesn't involve lying to people who're entrusting you with their very last bit hope.

A statistic that (assuming it's true) suffers from the obvious self-selection bias of people who chose to jump off a bridge knowing there was a net to catch their fall.
