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?

Car dealers kill more people than meth.

Driving offenses punishable by life in prison.

Doing some asshole or idiot move on the road angers other drivers. Other drivers experience road rage and road aggression. This results in collisions or fights that can lead to death.

Murder.

Parents.

Every person who ever participated in the conception and eventual birth of a human is also responsible for their eventual death.

If nobody is born, then nobody dies. Pretty obvious crime here.

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.

Everyone dies since everyone is guilty of at least one crime. Fortunately there are no prison guards or cops, since they're all awaiting trial in jail too.

I feel like I've taken the slippery slope in the other direction.

For odd outcomes, every birth results in a death down the line, so banning mums or something.

In the 40k Infantrymans Uplifting Primer, the penalty for attempted suicide was death by firing squad.
