A bit meta. That was a really well-explained description of a non-trivial problem. I wish there was (or I knew of) a curated collection of bloggers that wrote this well about software.
Any conversation about individuals having the right to control their lives (including the means to end them) seems to me to be a good thing. Similarly, on a larger scale, I also find talking about the (often shady) efforts by various governments to control population to be a welcome thing. Vonnegut's "Welcome to the Monkey House" touches on both topics; it's worth a read.
