I can't believe in this day and age we still have to struggle to be trusted as individuals to do the right thing. Stories like this cause me to visualize humanity as glorified cattle. As we evolve, we are afforded fewer and fewer independent choices. Humanity and compassion are being regulated away and instead of becoming enlightened and wise, we are becoming more robotic. It would be one thing if this has proven to be more effective, but it isn't even close. We must be allowed to make mistakes or we have nothing to grow from. I think America's Laws are too restricting, but we have quite a bit more say than what you've described. Thank you for the very informative and detailed information. I prefer learning about other cultures from the people who actually live there, rather than from a textbook.
