I wanted to address this line of reasoning before I get back to the main discussion I was having with Sparko.
The short answer is that 'responsibility' isn't necessarily the foundation upon which we base laws. We can focus primarily on the action taken and the actor itself in terms of self-preservation. I don't really have to care why you did what you did beyond what it tells me about how likely you are to do it again. In this, I agree with Hobbes that self-preservation is a basic instinct.
