I could be persuaded that not putting in "the plug" is not homicide, but no way can you persuade me that it's good public policy for the state not to have oversight over homicides What the state has oversight over, it has to notice. The state can only notice according to general rules and established precedent. These are blunt tools for the hard cases which should be judged on a case-by-case basis by the doctors and the families. Doctors shorten the lives of the terminally ill every day of the week to ease their suffering by giving them morphine, and the state wisely does not notice or name it "homocide".
