Talk:Manslaughter

This is only a partial definition. Involuntary manslaughter is killing without meaning to. Voluntary manslaughter is killing intentionally in the heat of the moment.

If we want to be precise, we need to make a difference between:

• Kililng with intent (and usually planning)- murder
• Killing without intent - manslaughter
• Killing in self-defence - usually not punishable, if the response was appropriate, else manslaughter
• The mother killing her newborn child, usually shortly after bith - no idea what this is called in English
• Assisted suicide, euthasnasia, and similar --Eptalon (talk) 09:54, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
