Basing decisions regarding PAS on the least expensive or most cost-effective option subordinates the rights of both patients and caregivers to economic factors (Bilchik, 1996; Meier, 1997; Gerk, 2017) and opens the door to various forms of abuse (Kipke, 2015).

Would you want to take advantage of all life-support technologies if it would only postpone death? As social capital measures the strength of personal and social relationships, institutional trust, social norms, and civic participation in a country (Duh-Leong et al., 2021), it would be expected that higher social capital might mitigate against the approval of assisted dying, and would instead favour the provision of community support and social welfare (Rodriguez-Alcal et al., 2019). This is vividly illustrated by a recent survey of dementia specialists, which found that one or more of these concerns was raised by 63% of respondents (Nakanishi et al., 2021). doi:10.1136/jme.27.3.186, Rodriguez-Alcal, M.

Med. Elaborating on these points in a further review (Sulmasy et al., 2018), the same author draws on the same argument, and further adduces arguments that have been discussed earlier in this paper, such as the limits of autonomy, the distinction between active killing and passive denial of particular treatments, the social ramifications of suicide and assisted suicide, and the possibility of a slippery slope characterized by incremental extension.

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.
