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.

    Parents.

    Every person who ever participated in the conception and eventual birth of a human is also responsible for their eventual death.

    If nobody is born, then nobody dies. Pretty obvious crime here.

      Almost the same logic that have the Dark Judges: every crime is committed by living persons hence live itself is a crime.

    Everyone dies since everyone is guilty of at least one crime. Fortunately there are no prison guards or cops, since they're all awaiting trial in jail too.

    I feel like I've taken the slippery slope in the other direction.

    For odd outcomes, every birth results in a death down the line, so banning mums or something.

    In the 40k Infantrymans Uplifting Primer, the penalty for attempted suicide was death by firing squad.
