Yes I think where you want to go is a new and worse place than where we are. You want all negligence that ends in death to lead to criminal charges. Prosecutors have the discretion not to charge and should exercise it. I don’t think that you are a lawyer from the level of your comments and understanding.

'want?' I am simply pointing at that it is current reality that certain kinds of negligence result in getting charged. Ever heard of 'criminal negligence?' And this does not even cover 'wrongful death.' If someones actions directly lead to someone else's death then they are likely to indited. This is not a statement of my own 'wants' or wishful thinking. This is also not a judgment of whether that fact is morally right or wrong. I am only stating REALITY. Never once have I stated how and to what degree I think charges should be applied. I simply have been pointing out, over and over, that this is how the law is currently applied. If you think this is a new trend you are mistake. If you disagree that you are mistaken feel free to find some statistics to back you up. Either way you are not debating my 'wants' because I have not stated them.
