Failure to prevent a death, even if you can do so, does not make you a killer. If I know CPR, and I see you dying, and yet I don't do anything to save you, I have not killed you. I simply have not used my abilities to save you. However, had I actually attempted to save you, and stopped giving you CPR before more help arrives, I can (or could anyway, at the time I had my origional CPR training) be held accountable for your death. Just because I can save your life, doesn't mean I have to.
Which is why you'd better never start to choke to death or stop breathing around me. Because if you do, you're going to end up pushing up dasies.
