You could call this a sequel to my last question, but I was genuinely curious. Question inspired by someone I know joking about being arrested for selling donuts to someone who died as a result because they didn't need junk food.

In a nice world, it'd be applied to politicians and corporations who, bit by bit, make daily life so hostile that people either turn to crime or starve.

But my first thought was giving birth should count as negligible homicide since 100% of people who are born die.
