Agreed. Most of those using the "private Property" argument are mixing up market and commodity models. In addition there is the legal doctrine which says; 'no man can use his property to harm others.' One can adjust the price via the patent procedure, subsidies etc.

Different principles apply to the sale of a product when lives hang in the balance.

So if someone invests their own time and money and develops a product that could potentially save lives, they can be forced to sell at a loss? So they don’t really own it anymore? What if that product doesn’t work out for some and they are used? Do they suddenly become the owner again?

Different principles appears to be government ownership. If a product is scarce, prices rise. If a product is valuable, prices rise.

But if the product is needed by someone, you say let the government steal it and license it, or at least let government set the price. How Venezuelan.
