Comment on Life Saving Therapy Inhibition by Phones Containing Magnetsparent

Comments

The pacemaker kill switch should simply need much stronger magnets

'simply' here is code for 'will require changes, perhaps significant, to therapeutic processes and medical infrastructure in hospitals and other medical facilities across the planet'.

Pacemakers do need to be serviced and replaced every once in a while, so this isn't end of the world scenario. Even better, stronger magnets would work for both "old" and "new" devices, so no need for two "disable" keys.
