Oh, this won’t end badly at all.
- It seems like it's aimed at people who would have terrible outcomes without it, e.g. terminal diseases that can be cured but for more money than a person can afford. Unfortunately, an unregulated diy pharmacy looks a lot better than current systems to many people. There's a ton of risk in this, but desperate people will find that risk acceptable.
- Cant be any worse than it already is
  
  I highly suggest you look at the history of medicine leading up to and into late 1800s and early 1900s
  
  There’s a reason why we have regulations, and those reasons are horrifying.
- Worse than not being able to afford your own lifesaving treatment? I doubt that.
Has anyone actually built/tried any of their designs? I'd like to know more and perhaps get involved.
After having read the story, read through some of the website (I haven't watched any of the videos yet), and checked into the GitHub repos, the answer is "Yes. Yes, I would."
