Subtle knives


Safer kitchen knives | The blunt truth | The Economist

Nothing subtle about it though-- where do we draw the line between paternalism and product design?   Sharp knives don't kill people; people kill people.  How far should we go to proect people from themselves?  
"That suggests a systematic redesign might make most such knives less lethal without making them less effective."
Should "systematic redesign" be mandatory?  And if so, how will we cut through to other worlds?
