I can't tell if this article is satire, this person is trolling everyone, or if she is just a moron that actually believes this crap. I am astounded that, in this day and age, any educated person would say something this dumb. In fact, I believe it should be illegal to say dumb stuff like this on the internet.

But this new form of entertainment is dangerous. The impact of immersive virtual violence must be questioned, studied and controlled. Before it becomes possible to realistically simulate the experience of killing someone, murder in VR should be made illegal. Until we understand the consequences of how violence in virtual reality might change us, virtual murder should be illegal.
 
I say, let the fucked-up people among us murder all they want in VR so they aren't doing it in real life.

Correct me if i'm wrong but, wasn't there a study done that showed a drop in violent tendencies if people had access to violent video games?
 
If I kill my own VR avatar, do I get arrested for suicide? :p
 
Less rape, murder and mayhem in VR world means more of those in the real world. Yes, it's that simple.
