So, who is at fault when you die or who pays when you wind up in the hospital?

This isn't theoretical--someone already wound up in the hospital "hacking their diabetes". And the FDA came down on the companies involved in manufacturing the devices--even though they had NO involvement.

I'm sympathetic and recognize that modern technology could be doing MUCH more for diabetic patients. However, my measure of importance is how much money is being thrown at the problem. And there simply doesn't appear to be very much money being tossed around for a medical system that will have to go through FDA approval.

If you kill yourself when doing medical experiments on yourself, you are at fault.

This should be obvious.

Now the question is, when you kill your children or family because you're doing medical experiments to try to cure them, who's at fault?

Because there are people and groups drinking bleach and treating it as a cure-all for diseases. I don't think going back to the old American Wild West of snake oil selling for diseases is a good idea.

Who is at fault when you drink yourself into a coma or fall out of a tree or smoke yourself into cancer?

It's ok to do those things but not try to care for yourself?
