Rescue or harvest Bioshock's little sisters

To kill or not to kill, that is the question. As reported on the Ars Technica site, someone has done some research on whether it is better to harvest or rescue those creepy little sisters in the game Bioshock. The analysis comes complete with a graph for you to compare the cost versus benefit of your action.

One of our forum-goers, twinky, decided to find out. He graphed the difference between killing and saving the sisters in terms of the ADAM you receive, and he found that while at the beginning the bonus for killing is great, towards the middle and end of the game the bonus packages you receive for saving the little girls levels out most of the short-term gain.
