Sure they can sue. I would file a 12b6 motion in court stating that they have no claim for which relief can be granted since I can't be held responsible.

Yes, of course they can sue you. Anyone can sue anyone for any reason. "To sue" simply means to file a lawsuit, a piece of paper with a complaint on it. For example, you can "sue" someone for having red hair, if you want to. That doesn't mean your case will get anywhere, but it does mean the victim's family can "sue you," or anyone else they might feel like suing. If you mean,"Can they sue you successfully," then that would be a different question. But definitely, they can "sue you."

THERE'S NO FORSEEABLE WAY THAT YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE PERSON'S LIFE YOU SAVE WOULD TURN INTO A MURDERER. THE VICTIM'S FAMILY COULD TRY TO SUE HOWEVER, I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING COMING FROM THIS ACT. BUT WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, CONTACT AN ATTORNEY FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Very interesting question, but I don't think that saving a person's life constitutes your being completely responsible for all of their actions for the rest of their life. The person you saved is still an individual and responsible for their own life and actions.
It is a very interesting, philosophical question, though.

Let's keep it real. Say I had breast cancer and my treatment saved my life, my oncologist is responsible for my cancer not my behavior-so he would not be held accountable if I offed my hubby. Although I can be sued for killing him by family. And of course tried for murder. He hit me. I swear.

No. One has nothing to do with the other; no lawyer would take the case, and no judge would hear it.
