That's a very interesting perspective, but I don't see how it would fit into the hypothetical in the initial post. If you hand it over to your husband or if you hand it over to your neighbor's wife the intent is presumably the same: to save someone. You may have not intended to kill five people in a car accident, but in the situation I presented where you know your neighbor's wife is at the brink of a medical discovery that will save millions, your decline to hand over the vial to her wouldn't be negligence, just omission (though not in the criminal sense of course).

AsianDream said:If you do an evil thing – I think it is irrelevant whether you do it to one person, 100 people or millions of people – it is equally as bad.
