Comments
No idea if Togashi would have known about it or it's just an interesting convergence, but the discussion of Netero having the bomb implanted in his heart & setting it off by stabbing himself reminded me of Roger Fisher's (an American academic who studied negotiations) proposal to have the nuclear codes implanted in the heart of a volunteer, such that the president would have to kill them to launch a nuke - > My suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry with him a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the President. If ever the President wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The President says, "George, I'm sorry but tens of millions must die." He has to look at someone and realize what death is—what an innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It's reality brought home. > When I suggested this to friends in the Pentagon they said, "My God, that's terrible. Having to kill someone would distort the President's judgment. He might never push the button."
