    It would be morbid but interesting to know if there are accidents caused by this, leading to litigation. Take the close call with the stairs in the article, or a car crash. How would an (e.g.) US court treat it? Do recipients sign away rights?

      I would not be surprised if the company forced the patients to sign a contract with a Limitation of Liability and Arbitration clause in there somewhere to prevent lawsuits.

      Purdue addicted a nation to oxy and the family got to keep their billions. Capitalists live by different rules.
