The writers missed nothing. The doctor said "Given what we've learnt, I'll be as humane as I can." The writers clearly considered this but thought it important that Ganger Amy was killed. Also as both doctors stated, they dont know for sure that there wasnt a way back for the gangers so I guess we will have to wait and see. --[[Special:Contributions/188.221.207.214|188.221.207.214]] 21:13, May 31, 2011 (UTC) | The writers missed nothing.

Are you saying that it would be OK to kill someone as humanely as possible, just because you think it's important that they should be killed? If you are, you ought to bear in mind that gas chambers using Zyklon B were devised as a humane way of killing people it was thought important should be killed. Even if you were to add not being sure there wasn't a way for the victims to come back, it would still be a disastrously bad piece of reasoning. | |||
What the writers missed, I think, is not the internal logic of the plot. There <b>was</b> a very important difference between Ganger-Amy and the gangers who became autonomous. What the writers missed was the need to draw <b>far more attention</b> to that difference than they did draw, in order to avoid producing the emotional effect that led a viewer to create this page.
