The Effect of Absence of Treatment of Victim on Responsibility of Criminal

Abstract:
In many crimes, the victim is in such a state that if he is treated, he will be cured, and if he is not treated, he will die. In such cases, an important question arises: is the victim's act or act of omission of some impact on the criminal's responsibility? Jurists approach this question from various viewpoints. Though some jurists are of the opinion that omission of treatment by the victim is of no impact on the criminal's responsibility, according to the accepted view if the victim survives when treated, but avoids intentionally to do so, her/his life is of no value, and the criminal has no responsibility except for the original crime; and if the victim omits to treat unintentionally, the criminal should, as required, pay blood-money or be retaliated. Also, if the victim wills to treat herself/himself but the physician avoids to do so and as a result the victim dies (and if the victim is treated, she/he will survive), a question will arise: "is the physician's avoidance of some effect on the criminal's responsibility?"
