Homicidio involuntario por uso de medicamentos en embarazos

Explicación Simple

Si alguien le da a una mujer embarazada algo para hacerle daño a su bebé, y eso causa la muerte del bebé o de la madre, esa persona puede ir a la cárcel. No importa si realmente había una razón para dar ese medicamento o no.

Es como si un chef, en lugar de preparar una comida saludable, le pusiera veneno a la comida de alguien. Si esa persona se enferma o muere, el chef sería responsable por sus acciones.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Laura, embarazada, va al médico y este le receta un medicamento peligroso sin explicarle los riesgos. Si el medicamento causa la muerte del bebé de Laura, el médico podría ser acusado de homicidio involuntario por su decisión.

Penalidades

Homicidio involuntario con pena de prisión, que puede ser de por vida o varios años.
