While it sounds a like a dick move, there probably was a reason they would prefer other patients. Maybe it's more risky to do surgery second time? I don't really blame them for this one, their goal is to take best steps to develop technology before they make it widespread and really functional. I blame them for all of those animals death though.

    Yeah. I also can think of lots of reasonable reasons, but if those were the real reasons, the company should still be making commitments and plans with their first user...

    The healthy stuff sounds like: "We intend X follow up procedure, but it needs to follow Y precaution."

    Hell, even companies that have no intention to help usually take the time to lie and claim that they do.
