If you’re on a boat and someone falls overboard have you killed them if:
1) You don’t have a life preserver to throw them? No
2) You don’t have a life preserver to throw them and you don’t look for one? Regrettable, but still probably not.
3) You have a life preserver and don’t throw it to them? Yeah, that’s kinda bad.
4) You have a life preserver but you throw it to your rich friend who is still on deck because he paid for your stateroom and he collects life preservers? Yeah - you’re a schmuck and a murderer. So is your rich friend.
