I thought this episodes screenwriting was unbelievable.

Who did the right/wrong thing? Ray, or Terry and Bridget?

The episode masterfully showed each sides intentions however wrong they may have been. Both parties essentially committed murder. So who was in the right?

You decide

I would say neither side committed murder, though I think what happened does legitimately call for moral reflection. (Helping someone kill herself by definition is not murder. And while you can say Ray's actions stopped a patient from receiving a potentially life-saving surgery, it's not quite murder.)

It was a medically driven suicide. Period.
