actually kill people for not releasing source code for medical devices, make it an actual capital offense. if someone cannot at will see the code in their own body, then their basic bodily autonomy has been undermined.
Toxic take on the situation my guy
That's pretty blood thirsty. I doubt there are many people who are caught up in this being like "mwahahahaha screw the fools that trusted us". It's something that emerges from the legal structures we enforce.
Like maybe there are scientists who want to help these people but would be committing a serious crime if they released schematics and such. Even the founder probably wanted to get rich yes, but probably also help people.
I don't think we need to be killing people and it's kinda frightening that you go straight for that, I suspect if we dissolve the fucked up laws that force this sort of insane cruelty to happen almost everyone would be happy to work in an open and collaborative manner.
I never met a scientist who enjoyed handing over their work to some company.
tech CEO's that refuse to release the source code of medical devices should be tried and convicted on crimes against humanity and face execution. only by releasing the source code can they be freed.
