Whatever the reason for wanting MAID, physical or mental, the most important factor is ensuring there is absolutely no coercion involved. The discussion with medical professionals MUST be initiated by the patient, never by a carer, family member, trustee, call center or medical professional. Electronic communications, interpreters, sign language, etc are all quite acceptable but it must be very clear who is speaking. MAID should never be the first option, but should follow a clear understanding of the range of care options and must never be approved because it make anybody else's life easier or brings benefit of some sort to another.
