Good point. I know NASA astronauts were always wired to an amazing degree during launch, I assume they still are. And I would assume that NASA is requiring them to be so during SpaceX launches. But what about non-NASA launches or from orgs like BH or Virgin? There's also the question of what could be done if something went amiss: on a NASA launch, the people are trained and have medical equipment. Of course, with BH and Virgin, they're not up very long - currently. SpaceX just sent those people up for what? Three days? And I believe they did conduct some experiments, though I'm not sure how serious they were.
