Need a law - implanted medical devices require lifetime support / Open source and release all proprietary source code if the company goes bankrupt.

    I feel like if you're having something implanted in you, you should get a copy of the schematics and code under an open source licence.

    At the very least the schematics and code should be kept in escrow in case the company goes bankrupt or just decides to stop supporting it.
