- dmix 4y agoWorth what? Federal regulators judging which medical research is valuable to society, then evaluate their policies based on that? Or are you asking whether it's worth it for the company to engage in moon-shot research without rock solid proof ahead of time? All that should matter here is that they follow the rules and act ethically

The device itself is one part of that, but developing surgical techniques is another large part of the research. However like all things, it needs to be developed ethically, the counter point of course being that some of our best medical techniques have been developed over the years in unethical ways (by modern standards).
