Agreed re individual prosecutions, but I favour sticking to the terminology of gross negligence manslaughter. That of course includes reckless acts, but also incorporates important concepts such as omission/indifference. However, NOT wilfulness. That's murder, not manslaughter!

Root motivations are largely unconscious and driven by a primitive part of the brain. Ask someone why they are harming or covering up and they probably couldnt tell u but if pushed other than denying it may give ficticious excuse/justification.

Coverups may be "deliberate" but ask someone why they are doing it and you will probably not get far.

I have a theory that the 'greater good' concept is widely abused as justification for behaviours that would otherwise be recognised as wrong and widely condemned. We're all guilty of self-justification from time to time, but it can be dangerous in the wrong hands if unchallenged.

Yep that is rationalisation, we all do it but some more than others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalization_(psychology) …. It can also be used positively for example coming to terms with something bad that happened.

So what about Gosport and Mid Staffs and all the other LCP deaths? Patients allegedly deliberately left sedated and dehydrated to die?
