I'm going to let the lawyers discuss the legal aspects. Except that since corporations are considered "persons" for the purpose of hiring lobbyists then I think they should be considered as "persons" who can be put on trial for manslaughter IF their actions caused death. That can be decided in a court.

Compassion and knowledge work hand in hand in nursing.

Nursing is about scientific knowlege and technical skills.

Nursing is also about the spiritual and emotional, the spirit or soul that is human.
