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?

Who said a developer must be forced to sell at a loss? Ever hear of the concept of amortization? How about cost plus 10% over 100 years amortization. You assume that all costs of development must be immediately recovered; does not have to be so. Why do you think there are monopolies given by the patent laws?

No legal system has ever given a property owner untrammeled license to do as they please.
