Since the Elysium President       appears to have compassion        for the people who died on the shuttles, why doesn't he arrange for Elysium       healing devices to be installed in Earth hospitals? Since he has enough       compassion to complain about the destruction of inhabited shuttles, shouldn't       he have enough compassion        to have healing machines installed in Earth hospitals?       >        >        >        > During the latter part of the movie, Max wears a surgically implanted       exoskeleton OVER his shirt!

The central computer       therefore decides to send medical shuttles to Earth to treat everyone who's       sick or injured. Does        Elysium have enough resources to treat Earth's entire population?       >        >        >        > Will Earth's entire population now immigrate to Elysium?

If police droids can't arrest Elysium       citizens, how would they deal with crimes committed by Elysium citizens?              How do the medbays "Reatomize" people? Is it like a Star Trek transporter?        Could the reatomization technology be used as a weapon?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
