Sure, but if a cancer patient gets shot, "he was already sick" isn't a legal defense.

Which one is the gun and which one is the cancer in this scenario? Would the cancer patient survived the gun shot if they weren't already weakened from cancer treatments and disease progression? Would they have survived the cancer if they didn't experience the trauma of the gunshot wound?

I don't think we definitively have the answers to that question IRT what killed the dinosaurs.
