Gilchrist's Ideas

I thought that the technology in "The Jaunt" was both good and bad. the good part is that it allows for travel between distant worlds, but the bad is that if you don't follow directions, you're in trouble -- you go crazy or die.

What I am confused about is the story "Quitters, Inc." How can the technology/method seem effective, but brutal at the same time. It works. I know i would think twice about smoking again if a family member was going to be punished. wouldn't this method really tell who is selfish and who is not?
