You are aware that they need assistance, but you have not rendered them any aid. It is a death by inaction. However, in my described scenario, you are rendering them aid, albeit against your will. You have been connected and are providing them with your blood. Now, you have the choice to discontinue that aid but with the knowledge that doing so will kill them. You are playing a more active role in their death should you make that choice.
OK, yeah I'll concede the difference. I still think your decision to stop helping is an inaction on your part. Compelled action is the issue at hand. Continuing to help is an action.
