Many rulers have made drug dealing punishable by death based on "slippery slope murder". If the logic of that was applied to everything, what's the most peculiar possible implication you can think of?

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.
