Instead of serving prison time, he chose the alternative\u2013 chemical castration through estrogen therapy. He lost all of his security clearance and could no longer work on his life career of cryptology as a result.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Turing\u2019s favorite children\u2019s tale was Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. In 1954, he was discovered dead in his bedroom. He had committed suicide by eating an apple soaked in cyanide. A memorial for Turing depicts him holding an apple- a symbol for forbidden love. In 2011, a petition was made asking the British Government to pardon Turing\u2019s conviction of gross-indecency. It was rejected by Lord MacNally, who summarily stated Turing knew his actions would result in a criminal offense and therefore should have been prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Turing, I\u2019m sorry. The world can be a cruel place. You are respected and won\u2019t be forgotten.
