How is that deliberately ending a life?

A life would be ended through neglect. I guess you could label it a wrongful death.

I don't see how NOT killing a blastosphere can be construed as wrongful death. If it lived, aged, and died, then how was its death wrongful?

It doesn't matter how many stages the neglected person has lived through before dying from neglect. Living a particular number of days doesn't make one more or less human.

When a one-day-old baby dies through neglect, it's a wrongful death. When a child dies through neglect, it's a wrongful death.

When an elderly adult dies through neglect, it's a wrongful death.
