This is a poorly written article. What is the apology supposed to be for? The prosecution. or the castration?

His intellect could have been put to better use than hounding him to some strange Snow White suicide. Especially in war time.

Aw, come on. What good is an apology to a guy who's been dead for five decades? This isn't an apology to Mr. Turing, this is a make-myself-feel-better for a mistake actioned over 50 years ago. Get over it and try to solve one of the bazillion current problems we have confronting us.

Code breaking and writing a test for machines doesn’t translate to “father of computer science”.
And buggery laws were and still are sound laws that should be prosecuted. In fact Obama will probably put them back on the books in the name of socialised health care. Self inflicted anal wounds and diseases are costly to the system.

I do not agree with the idea of an apology. An apology indicates that the actions taken in that era were wrong for that era.

Times have changed. Britain would not do it again during this time. I think that's pretty much recognized.

The Turing Test is absurd. Monkeys looking in a mirror never figure out that it is actually themselves that they’re looking at. That doesn’t make the mirror image another real monkey.

[org.whodat]

who is said to be the father of modern computer science,

Straw man statement!!!

[Paradox]

I had no clue about this fact. Another episode in “Stupid Historical Mistakes of Western Culture”. I’m so glad we are beyond that.

[Lancey Howard]

lol, yeah an apolgy will make this corpse feel better.

[Question Liberal Authority]

There’s a Smash Mouth song called “I’m Sorry About Your Penis” which seems oddly appropriate.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Apology? To someone who is dead? Madness.

[wardaddy]

if this is all true then he does deserve to be vindicated.

[Still Thinking]

Chemical castration? Eww! And especially eww with the strength of some drugs of that era.

[BobL]

Talk about watching a culture go down the tubes...and only 60 years out.

Sad.

[theDentist]

No for 2 reasons: 1) He’s dead. Sorry, but an apology is litterally falling on deaf ears.... and 2) An apology therefore opens up the Government to legal action (being sued) for millions.

[Uri’el-2012]

Turing committed suicide two years after his prosecution in 1954, but was before given experimental chemical castration as a “treatment”.

The treatment was administered by British National Health Care !

Beware Bambi Care !

Will not be signing... one piece of poo in the brownie mix was enough for me to pass.
