Home Guru
I did read your original post. That's why I gave you credit for the idea. It's just been stewing around in the back of my mind and only this morning did it come to the forefront.
I got the idea that the poster hadn't taken it seriously and I think you're right. There really is no other way to define it, as the people have probably been told that there is an elderly woman on life-sustaining oxygen and they endanger her life every time they shut it off.
Me, tho, if I knew that my antics could kill someone, I'd do everything I could do to keep her alive, with the thought in the back of my head that I could be held responsible, should she pass, no matter what the circumstances...
But that's just me, unlike the posters neighbors, I take human life seriously.
