Software to control a medical device controlling blood insulin levels. 
Modern insulin pumps are implanted under the skin at the waistline. 
Insulin is injected into a reservoir in the pump, to be released into 
the blood as needed.

The software usually reports the blood sugar levels and can update 
trigger levels in the blood chemistry to release insulin.  You are 
usually updating variables in the pump itself, rather than changing the 
operating software.  Still, not something I would want to try as an open 
source project.  Dead users are a big inconvenience...
