Involuntary manslaughter means YOU killed the guy. That would be a bullshit charge.

so you're advocating false and malicious prosecution? That's a really good way to get the state sued.

And yet you glibly advocate that we charge them with a felony and prosecute them? That's irresponsible at best. You're acting as though everyone automatically does anything they're told to do. If I tell you to kill yourself, then hey, you don't actually have to kill yourself. If you do, that's your decision.
Your argument would set a very, VERY bad precedent. Basically we're now making it a crime to give bad advice. So, for instance, if I thought a certain stock was a good idea and you took my advice, and then the stock crashed, I could be held responsible. If I tell you to buy a Yugo, you could prosecute me for giving you bad advice.
America has already gone far enough into the realm of no personal responsibility. Why should we now want to shed ALL shreds of responsibility?
