Dr. Herx mentioned the culture of silence evolving around concerns with MAID. Is this a case of establishment buy-in? Perhaps Professor Lemmens will address this point as well. Once something like this is legalised, there is an establishment buy-in such that it becomes impossible to criticise it, and maybe this is why we are not seeing close scrutiny of regulatory breaches, abuses and so on.
