No, I cannot.
I am not a lawyer, I don't consider this particular question (whether it's legal to kill your workers or not) relevant to the question of whether they're responsible for their death (they are), and I don't consider lawmakers as the ultimate authority of ethics.
- MichaelZuo 4y ago> The definition of manslaughter depends on the juridistiction, but I think this is clearly a case gross negligence manslaughter, by Amazon. This does not seem to square with your prior comment.
- bheadmaster 4y agoBy the quote you posted, I was trying to imply that I'm speaking outside of any particular framework of law, but rather of ethics. Perhaps I shouldn't have chosen the term used in law, but I didn't know what other term to choose. Law comes from ethics, anyway. It's an imperfect reflection of the ideal of justice, and in this case, it is my personal opinion that what Amazon did should be considered gross negligence manslaughter. In any case, they literally killed people.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoTo be frank, it's difficult to believe 'gross negligence manslaughter' is the default term you normally use in lieu of other choices. Or that you were unable to think of other terms.
