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.

So would you then agree that if a 7 celled blastosphere lived for 75 years and then died naturally (but without further cell division) that it's death would not be through neglect?
