There may be another reason why track 2 is used by more women than men. Women live longer, and some men may have died before reaching the age where they may want to use MAIID.
Couldn't gender discrepancies just as easily be evidence that one gender is suffering from lack of access to MAID? It is easy to imagine social factors that might disproportionately prevent people of one gender from getting their applications approved.
Definitely possible. Suicide rates have been going down, though it doesn't seem to be because of MAID deaths, but maybe there's something related going on.
Well stated as always !

I considered this, but I don't see a way to evaluate it one way or the other with the data available. Maybe you or somebody else does though!

Good point. The bias could be because one group is prevented, not because the other group is pushed.
