Is this now the most costly software error in history, measured in human lives lost?<p>Imagine if the UK Parliament or the EU decides that the best response is enact laws mandating a particular software testing approach, or mandates extensive regression testing on production systems after all changes?

&gt; There may &quot;be between 135 and 270 women who had their lives shortened as a result&quot;<p>&gt; between 2009 and the start of 2018<p>&gt; were not invited to their final breast screening<p>So over 9 years less than 270 people (30 people per year) over the age of 68 who weren&#x27;t sent a checkup reminder, and chose not to take an active role in their own health care, and may have died of cancer.<p>Its a shame that people may have died, but in the grand scheme of this is this a huge issue? Is the algorithm to blame, or the people who chose to not take responsibility in their own health?
