Having worked for NASA, I can tell you that I totally disagree with this idea. The Space Shuttle systems are completely isolated from the rest of the infrastructure to prevent intrusion. This is a valid measure to save both lives and property. Medical implants should enjoy the same isolation. Open source would be a HUGE mistake. It would be best for the FDA/FCC to come to an agreement to keep the software top secret and under wraps, only to be accessed by qualified personnel. It would only take one cracker to kill or injure millions of implant users!
