If you punch a guy with a neurological condition, and it's a punch that ordinarily wouldn't cause anyone's death, but he does die as a result, you're still responsible for his death. You take a person as you find them.
But the person with a neurological condition can't choose to not have it. A motorcyclist can choose a different and safer form of travel.
