	The Cold Equations, by Tom Godwin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		, a classic short story by Tom Godwin, shocked readers when it first appeared in 1954 and has caused controversy ever since.
		Godwin set up an impossible situation and gave readers no comfortable way to solve it.
		In the story, a space pilot is delivering medical supplies to a colony, when he discovers a stowaway.

	William Godwin
		Godwin was born on 3 March 1756 at Wisbeach, Cambridgeshire, the seventh of thirteen children of John Godwin (1723-1772) a dissenting minister, and his wife Anne (c1723-1809), the daughter of Richard Hull, a ship-owner engaged in the Baltic trade.
		Godwin begins by defending the importance of political inquiry and refuting claims that moral and political phenomena are a function of climate, national character or luxury.
		Indeed, Godwin's account of pleasure, in terms of the development of intellect and the exercise of its powers, means that the position looks as much like perfectionism as it does a form of hedonistic utilitarianism (what is valued is the ideal as much as the pleasures which are integral to it).

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #24: Tom Godwin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I've been concentrating primarily on major authors and primarily on novels, but Tom Godwin gets in largely on the strength of a single short story.
		It should be understood, at least in part, as a reaction to a subgenre of 'problem' stories, which typically got solved by the protagonist's pulling a scientific or technological rabbit out of a hat.
		The three stars are a compromise between four, for how much I enjoyed it, back when, and two, for the plot holes I generally ignore and the writing that isn't equal to the author's vision.

	Strange Horizons Columns: Equations and Inequalities, by Debbie Notkin
		Tom Godwin's famous story "The Cold Equations" is available for $2.51 from Fictionwise, if you don't want to read about it without reading it.
		Needless to say, Godwin stacked the deck with his auctorial control of resources the pilot has on hand—if he hadn't done so, there would be no story.
		The situation is somewhat different; she is alone in a spaceship with a parasitical alien that could be a danger to her world if she returns, so she does the "only neat thing" by heading outward forever, in effect committing suicide by eventual diminution of resources.

	Argument from Design and the Problem of Evil
		Godwin's world may suggest particular answers through the presentation of his world and the consequences of the possible problems presented in that world.
		Godwin continually talks of the exacting order of the universe; "The laws were, and the universe moved in obedience to them." (213) So the text acknowledges the possibility of the existence of a supreme creator, God.
		Godwin stresses the impossibility of an other outcome but one resulting in the sweet young woman's death.

	Strange Horizons Articles: The Laws of the Space Frontier, by Michael Underwood
		This failure undermines the characterization of Barton as empathetic and compassionate; his decision is not justified given both his feeble attempts to find a compassionate alternative and his reasoning behind condemning her to death.
		Barton does not attempt to devise additional ways to save his stowaway; instead, he is limited by his trained devotion to the "laws" of space, and his training unreasonably overcomes his compassion.
		Godwin's space is a male place, a "boys only" club, and it is because Marilyn is out of her world and does not know the way of the frontier that she must die.

		Tom Godwin, in "The Cold Equations," very carefully sets up a physical world that is no different from ours except that they had figured out the physics of interplanetary travel and had colonies on multiple planets in mulitple solar systems.
		All that never seems to keep sociology students from assuming that the social dynamics of the story are bound to overcome the physical laws of the universe, the "cold equations" Tom Godwin goes to so much literary trouble to set out in the opening pages of the story.
		It's easy to see the laws of the physical universe operating with the "cold" certainty Tom Godwin shows us in the short story.
