If Turing hadn't committed suicide, what would have changed in computer science?

  (NB: It's actually not conclusive that he committed suicide.) We have have a lot of great minds who are still alive and who are still doing some of the more impressive research in Computer Science -- and they are universally (essentially) ignored. It's sad to say, but I'm not convinced Alan Turing would have met a much better fate.
