Boy, that gets messy, doesn't it? Same situation with Haleigh Poutre's stepfather, Jason Strickland. IIRC, it was actually his lawsuit that saved Haleigh's life from her would-be killers at the Massachusetts DSS. If THEY had killed her, HE would have been faced murder charges along with the abuse charges already filed.

Iow, medical caregivers who wrongly or prematurely "pull the plug" are getting a free pass. Somebody else is made to be legally responsible for the death. But killing patients for their organs is so lucrative, it offers a huge financial incentive for wrongful death. The "plug pullers" may be the actual murderers, or at least full accomplices to the murder.

Moral: "In Adam's fall / We sinnéd all." If you leave even the tiniest loophole for evil in the law, you will soon have a flood of evil consequences.

Someday the courts will have fun with that! Messy! Then again, maybe that might be a solution. I'll have to think on that.
