The last part of your statement seems angry?

The story of Turing is indeed particularly interesting for the chemical castration and run ins with law over the big government interference in his personal life. If we talk just about people who have achieved things in computing the list is huge but if we discuss people who gave sp much and had government then take so much it's a different list isn't it? But I don't see that as being a bad thing.

So yes Turing is a great representative of an aspect of history we should strive not to repeat. That's not a bad thing.
