Would you say that making a mistake in software is equal to taking a human life?

  Depends on the what the software does.

  If you were the developer for a Therac-25, yes, yes I would.

  Not sure why the downvotes, but I think for the application software that probably 98% of us here write, it isn't as important as we'd like to believe in comparison to a person's life. Either that or life is really really cheap.
