[Let's discuss action theory.
Donald Davidson, one of the most prominent philosophers of theory of action of the 20th century would hold that refraining from doing something is, in itself an action (and, frankly, I know of noone who would seriously question that claim). Thus, refraining from feeding a hungry child, willingly and knowingly accepting it's certain death in that event, would constitute homicide, if not murder, an act of yours at any rate.

Interesting. So if you fail to prevent someones death when you have the means to are you guilty of murder?
Holy crap, I had better go into hiding then before the police arrest me on suspicion of 50 million counts of murder.
