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?

In a nice world, it’d be applied to politicians and corporations who, bit by bit, make daily life so hostile that people either turn to crime or starve.

But my first thought was giving birth should count as negligible homicide since 100% of people who are born die.

i definitely know some people who were born but haven’t died
