As long as people aren't put in jail for faulty software, it will never be fixed.

Remember Diginotar?

Who knows how many lives were affected in Iran...

Surgeons aren't put in jail for faulty surgery. Wanting this for software is a bit draconian.

Surgeons can be held accountable and can lose their license at least.

That has never happened to software developers.

I think we have vastly different standards on what's reasonable and prudent between software developers and surgeons!
