These early adopters found out what happened when a cutting-edge marvel became an obsolete gadget… inside their bodies.
Yeah… oof. I can’t even imagine the potential liability nightmare of a third party trying to service them to keep them functional.
Maybe markets aren’t the best way to heal people? Idk even if you insist on doing it maybe governments hold the patents and license them out for production or something?
Ephemeral legal structures (companies) and permanent modifications to someone’s body seem like a match made in hell tbh. Don’t get me wrong, I get why you would take a chance but this is gonna happen increasingly unless we fix now we approach prothesis.
