It’s on them, but it affects thousands or millions of others.

As such if you can prevent that, and don’t, it’s also on you too.

I think that's bad logic. The choice everyone has is kill or not kill. I can't be held responsible for someone deciding to pick kill when they have the ability to pick not kill.

You’re not responsible for their choice.

You’re responsible for giving them the choice.

Ok, and what does that actually mean for/to me? It's not the same as intentionally putting somrone in a situation where both choices knowingly result in death. And even if was in this situation, wouldn't it ultimately be the fault/responsibility of whoever set up the scenario to being with?
