Who is responsible when climbing an 8000m peak, if you are guided. Is it the client or the guide?

There is a grey area as far as I am concerned, however, I don't understand how anyone can be left to die on a mountain unless they have made the choice to do so.

Who is responsible when climbing an 8000m peak? You are.

how can anyone be left to die? Because if you can't climb down on your own there's nothing anyone else can do to rescue you. If there's only just enough oxygen in the atmosphere for people to drag themselves to the top and back how are they going to be able to carry another person?
