A woman whose epilepsy was greatly improved by an experimental brain implant was devastated when she was forced to have it removed.

    Your bullshit counter is broken, Steven

    here’s the link from MIT technology review : https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/05/25/1073634/brain-implant-removed-against-her-will/

    here’s their imprimatur from the MIT itself : https://news.mit.edu/1995/tech-review-0201

    I’d have that clicking checked out

      That has no additional information. I’m not saying the story is made up. Just that it leaves out a lot of important details about what exact mechanism was used to “force” her.

      The articles point out the company went bankrupt and her doctors advised her to remove the implant. It says she was willing to pay to keep it, and suggests this could have been avoided if another company could have taken over device maintainance.

      All of which suggests that the device was removed because it could no longer be maintained, despite her willingness to pay.
