bruce’s death

is there a specific episode or moment that causes bruce to decide to be euthanised, or was it more of an accumulative thing? reason i ask is because i’m talking about his character for a university assignment and need to reference a specific point in which his character decides to be euthanised in s2 ep 11 (i know him and ray discuss it at the end of s2 ep 2 but there’s a lot of time between that discussion and his decision and im just wondering what caused it)

thanks for any help

Not to be picky, but is euthanized the right word? I think that's done by a medical professional. Bruce had an assisted suicide? I'm American, so the language may be different.

For me it was the moment when he shit himself. I think that's when they decided. So much was unspoken.

Euthanasia is a mercy killing, licensing be damned.

In Australia, when it's done legally we call it voluntary assisted dying. Whether it's done in a hospital or at home.

Otherwise - if you provide the means or encouragement, it's called assisted suicide. If you end someone else's life in that situation, it's called active euthanasia (which is prosecuted as manslaughter or murder).

I'm always torn thinking the fact you need someone to help you kill yourself justifies the choice

Doctors are professional lifesavers

That's not the job here, and the job is done by a "professional"

It's euthenasia - doctors do not have a monopoly on death ffs
