    Is it suicide to accept that death happens? If I don’t save a lady from getting hit by a car, am I a murderer?

    Not necessarily. If we are talking about “staying young” but still aging and getting susceptible to health conditions could be a factor.

    People all the time are “delayed suicide” if they are not eating the exact right diet and healthy lifestyle to peak conditions for each individual as well.

    This is making me think of the trolley problem. You have a train track with 5 people on the track and a train is coming. There is a lever to make the train switch tracks. If you don’t pull the lever, they die. If you do, the train goes on another track where there is a single person stuck, so they die instead. If you try anything funny you’ll cause the train to derail and kill everybody (This isn’t usually part of the thought experiment but I add it to prevent tomfoolery).

    The very fact that you have been presented with this scenario and have been given the power to affect the course of events. Does this make you a murderer?
