Seizures and Sailboats. Do They Mix?

I do have a question that I can not answer.

Should someone who suffers from seizures be sailing?

Of course the risk of going overboard is heightened. A tether would/could do more harm than good.

Does a new lifeline system need to be developed to instantly grab the person and sail the boat too?

I would like to know if anyone has delt with the issue of a crew or passenger who is prone to seizures and how they delt with the situation.

Or just what your opinion is.
