If it really did matter then you would see much more on the nightly news
regarding the person in the U.S. that dies every 12 seconds (4.7 a minute,
6700 a day) due to so called natural causes [1].

Those guilty of causing death due to acts of commission and those causing
deaths due to acts of omission are only two letters apart.

ourselves to solving them.
