I much admire Alan Turing as a person and as a thinker. He was such a great mind. Alan Turing is mostly known for his contribution to the decoding of the enigma code. Also, he participated greatly in uncoding important messages from the Nazis. He was of major help to the U.S during World War II. Although he had helped the U.S government, he was found "guilty" of being gay by the U.S government. Afterwards, his life became hell. Forced to be chemically castrated, he was fired not long after. This part of his life made me respect him even more. I believe his was great soul, and he served greater purposes. It's really sad that he went through all that.
