From an ethical perspective, this would represent a significant paradigm shift from existing standards of care in neuropsychiatry, where suicide is seen as something to be prevented rather than permitted under supervision (Serafini et al., 2016; D'Anci et al., 2019); this could also lead to a slippery slope phenomenon where PAS is seen as the simplest or most cost-effective intervention for any difficult-to-treat neuropsychiatric disorder, particularly in vulnerable populations.

Though these problems exist globally, they may be particularly acute in low- and middle-income countries where resources for caregivers are limited (Fam et al., 2019).
