You missed the main point.  There has to be an ILLEGAL act for it to be
manslaughter..as in my example of  women who take illegal drugs during
pregnancy.

For example:

I hit a pedestrian because they stepped in front of my car:  Accidental death
I hit a pedestrian because I was driving recklessly:  Usually manslaughter
I hit a pedestrian because I was wanted to run them over: Murder
