    I don’t think we should have patents on tech that helps us live longer, healthier, etc

    That sums up the entirety of my concern actually :). Don’t care about apple watches one bit, but I’d absolutely love to be able to buy my wife a watch that’ll monitor her blood sugar in real time. From what I understand, it’s close to existing, but is being stalled by governments (not just US either) due to concerns about accuracy (preventing dangerous spikes and lows doesn’t require medical grade accuracy…).
