Question: 1 / 400

To RECKLESSLY cause the death of another is defined as?

Murder

Manslaughter

Manslaughter is the act of recklessly causing the death of another person. Recklessness involves a conscious decision to engage in a dangerous behavior that disregards the risk it may cause to others. While murder also involves causing the death of another, it requires the presence of intent, meaning the person acted purposely to cause harm. Self-defense is not considered reckless as the person is acting to protect themselves from harm. Accidental death is also not considered reckless as there is no intent to cause harm, and the death is considered an unfortunate accident. Therefore, the most appropriate option for recklessly causing the death of another would be manslaughter, as it encompasses the act of reckless behavior resulting in death without the presence of intent to harm.
