Mark;
    I agree with all you say.  My point was only that it may not be as
heinous a crime as what some people might think when they read: "Girl drowns
when man takes her life jacket."  As also pointed out, by another writer, it
could make a difference in our thinking when we need to decide if, and how
we will attempt a rescue.  No easy answer, and having your lawyer there to
advise won't help. It is 12 jurors, months later that will decide if your
actions were appropriate.
                                                  John a/k/a Ancient Mariner

PS. Obviously, my last reference to "Grill"  was not well done.
