   Comments: Turing was a genius and a British patriot. His accomplishments saved tens of thousands of innocent lives and he worked to change the course of WWII to favor America, Britain and their allies, not to mention to liberate Europe from Nazism. He was rewarded by his own government with persecution and chemical castration simply for being gay. The resulting anguish of these experiences led him to take his own life. He deserves and apology from the British government and a posthumous Knighthood as the least of gestures!

   Comments: Mr. Turing did much in his life, and almost all of it for all of humanity, perhaps it is time all of humanity did something for him, judge him equal.

   Comments: I am signing this petition to react to the brutality of the British judicial system and indifference of present policy makers. But may be subjectivity of its authors and ignoring the contribution of Polish mathematicians to cracking Enigma are reasons why this initiative has failed ...

    Comments: Both of my Grandfathers served the Crown honorably in WWII as members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and this mans great work in cryptography drastically hindered the enemies. My Grandmother was a Polish Jew who was sent to Auschwitz along with homosexuals, gypsies, priests, and others. I ask as a Canadian Citizen that this man be properly honored for his contributions with a Knighthood and full apology for the heinous and immoral actions that contributed to his suicide. This man saved lives..Commonwealth lives, American lives, most definately Jewish lives, and the lives of many others with his work. To dishonour him simply because of his sexual preferences is disgusting and something all to common to the very enemy he helped defeat..

    Name: Richard Ward on Sep 1, 2009

    Comments: Alan Turing was an individual unafraid of being different and paving his own path. His brilliance and patriotism contributed significantly to saving Britain and the rest of the world from Nazism. Subsequently, his farsightedness ushered in new thinking that has contributed greatly to the digital world we now inhabit. Britain was happy to take yet could not accept his differentness. For this he was crucified. It is well past the time for Alan Turing to be officially recognised and thanked for his contributions to Britain and the world. And, it is important that he be looked upon as a model to aspire instead of a freak to avoid.

    Comments: Even if he had not been the genius he was, Turing would have deserved an apology for the treatment meted out to him. That he contributed so much to the British war effort, and to the development of computing, makes that apology even more necessary.
