Exhibit #1 for strong #RightToRepair laws (especially for medical devices):
What happens when your $100,000 bionic "legs" stop working after 10 years & the manufacturer says, too bad so sad, that model isn't supported anymore?
If it is an extension or part of your body, you should be able to replace/fix parts & software, etc.
Medical device companies should have to stockpile some amount of spare parts in case they go out of business.
