Honest question.....real life example.
Lisa and I were headed up the road a few weeks ago. We went by a guardrail and I noticed a doe laying there with her head up. I got off at the next exit.......turned around.....made a big loop and got back there. I walked back to where the doe was and her legs front were mangled up pretty badly....panting up a storm.
So.......what do you do?
I can tell you that if I would have had a weapon....she'd have been dead in seconds. Would I have been a "poacher"? Call me what you would have. I didn't have a weapon....which is the ONLY reason the GW got a call. He came and dispatched her. Should she have been left to give it a go on her own......"will to survive"?
Every once in a while we are forced to make these type decisions. I put my dog down last year when she was sick. I made that decision for her. I woud have (and ultimately did) made that decision for that doe, that day.
I sleep really well.
Actuallly in your example, you would be violation of the law if you didn't save the girl if you can swim.
Not in this state.
Oh yea in your state, you let a doctor pass up a dying person and see what happens. Criminal Neglectance is a very grey area that could be used against you.
