The Unwind Analysis

Does the means justly the end and what defines the point death? Is it when you stop breathing? Or when you are buried six feet down? Scientifically, the point at which complete cessation of all bodily functions. Now, if a person were to be surgically disassembled in such a way that kept all the bits and pieces intact and alive through organ donation, is this death? Scientifically, the answer is no.

When the main characters were on the run a scene played out where a protester stating that even though the amendment stated criminals had the choice of voluntarily being unwound, the state had the final say in the matter over their lives.
