Rather than hoping it gets shut down because of your fears, why not just take the approach of ensuring the FDA closely regulates the safety and efficacy of the technology. They do clinical trials and study these things to address concerns like yours.

- WesternWind 3y agoMy friend works for a medical device manufacturer helping prepare for FDA inspections and related quality control measures and as I recall, and this was a couple years ago, he said that the FDA is fairly stringent but could be more so, and he wishes they'd fine for higher amounts, because if getting fined for a mistake was a bigger financial hit, companies would be better incentivized to avoid mistakes that the FDA currently catches and has them correct.

The medical industry is rife with corruption in a number of places, as best as I understand the situation. And even if it weren't, measuring safety I think is a very hard thing to begin with. :'/
