I feel like maybe research on medical implants like this should be done by the state.
At least, when the company goes defunct, they should be forced to sell it to a company that's required to maintain the upkeep for products using the IP they bought or the government should eminent domain
You're not wrong, and I hate that about your comment.
Take your upvote and go.
What could possibly go wrong with your idea
OK, good point. Research yes. Somebody still needs to control and manage the things. That concerns me. I'm not imagining a medical /brain implant version of nasa. My problem is when politicians start imposing politics to the situation. I don't want the governments or private companies dicking around in my brain imposing fad or outrage of the day changes. Standards good, control, not so good.
For-Profit Medical Corporations would miss out on some lowest effort, unethical, low margins for their extreme profiteering opportunities?
