Decision: Our group has decided to go with implementing new software for the safeguards on the Therac-25. We do not know if the old software is compatible, therefor could lead to errors either way. When dealing with someone's life it is important to remember that you have to do something to 100%. So the little chance of no errors outweighs the guaranteed minimal errors.
