This is fantastic. If you know what the problem is, because you've been diagnosed or whatever, and you know what medicine will do it, and you are capable of making it, I see no issue at all with this. You don't need a PhD in computer science to browse the internet.
You've gone to a malicious website. Now you've died.
See, the risks of surfing the web incorrectly are slightly different than the risks of creating medicine incorrectly.
You've committed the "crime" of being poor while diagnosed with a lethal (but curable) illness that you can't afford. Now you've died.
See, the risks of being poor are slightly different than the risks of not being poor.
Surely. But let's be realistic. If you're poor and sick, you're broke and have no free time.
