Yeah, no.
Your body isn't a simple laptop where you plug out some broken componi, replace that component, and you're done. There is a reason why even "simple" nurses go through years of training before being able to call themselves nurses.
If it comes to your body, shits complicated, yo!
Everyone should, must have the right to good quality healthcare, but it can't be from yourself, by yourself. You need a doctor!
Even those trans humanist types that put magnets and such in their bodies are really on the edge with what will and won't kill you. Add DIY CRISPR sets, which is just the worst thing I've ever heard, and you have arecipe for disaster.
There is a difference between knowing which medicines to give someone. And then having that knowledge of which to choose (after seeing a healthcare professional), and then being able to buy (make) any brand of that item.
