I have to run to get ready, but after reading the first few... bottom line is, they seem to be mongering a distinction between killing and letting die. I don't think there is, in general, such a distinction (cases in which the killing/letting die distinction is apparently important are, I think, really cases where some other attribute is attached to the killing option - greater certainty, lower cost of avoiding the death, etc.).
