Code is Law and Old Testament Gods

We can imagine a modern case of the inquiring murderer where a terrorist connects a weapon of mass destruction to a timer smart contract. Should we censor the contract to prevent the bomb from going off?

Really nice analogy! I wonder how many would stand next to and argue with someone hacking the software in a bomb device that code is law. I mean how much should you care when faced with your own death?

Umm yeah you should censor the execution of a piece of code in order to save human lives that will die if you don't. Failure to do so makes you culpable in a murder.

Seriously, WTH?
