Discovering that the Sibyl System is merely a collection of 247 (I think) brains is extremely shocking, but the fact that it actually works and does result in peace for society might even be more shocking.
It's very interesting, though, and the fact that they take the characteristics from the brains of criminals in order to root out or search for other similar qualities in people in society almost sort of makes sense.
I understand Akane's conflict, as it reminds me of the issue in "Those who walk away from Omelas" and even in Minority Report. Although, in this case, no one is really suffering, but what is going on is still a question of morality.
I also wonder who implemented this system in the first place? Who watches over it now? And what if it didn't work, but forced the world into a state of destruction and allowed criminals to do whatever they pleased? It seems like no one would really be able to stop something like that if it ended up happening.
