Compounding pharmacies should not be subjected to patents. Then the costs are all local instead of tithes to the corporate clergy.

This is extremely dangerous and also something I feel must be considered a natural and obvious extension of a right I believe to be fundamental: bodily autonomy.

There is a significant distinction between the right to bodily autonomy and the right to distribute quack medicine. And that's sort of the rub. As soon as you start marketing your product to third parties under false pretexts, we're not longer talking about an individual's right to self. And we get into an even more tangled web when we start talking about health care for children or the elderly, who lack the mental acuity to make informed choices.

Also this is cyberpunk as hell and aesthetically I’m so here for it

Everyone wants to get the military grade Sandevistan drive. Nobody thinks they're going to succumb to cyberpsychosis.

I think an off the shelf microlab that can reliably synthesize a particular medicine is something that's commercially viable, which is probably a safe middle ground here and sort of what they're proof of concepting.

Rather than putting together a DIY lab like this, a pre-made kit that makes one medication would easily make a ton of meds available. Not just here but all around the world.

I would say the next step would probably be to create a certification process for microlabs categorizing their safety and effectiveness

I agree with the idea of bodily autonomy. Above all, someone should have the right to do, or not do, whatever they want with their own person.

Whether that is to listen to doctors advice, buy pharmaceuticals and self-administer as prescribed, or even end your own life, and everything in between.

Quick disclaimer, suicide should still be evaluated by a psychiatric professional, and simply being suicidal shouldn't necessarily mean that nobody can, or should stop you from committing that act. I'm mostly referring to medically assisted self termination, after the appropriate safeguards, checks, and balances have been cleared. Simply wanting to off yourself without being cleared as having sound mind should be something we, as a society, should address carefully, with the assistance of mental health professionals.

With all that being said: I probably would DIY some pharmaceuticals. Anything that's an opiate or other restricted substance, definitely not. But if I can buy the ingredients without needing a special permit or license, I definitely would.
