Surgeons have nothing to worry about ! in the worse case they will switch from operating to developing robots to operate and selling them at golden prices ……….. an engineer will never replace a surgeon !

What!!! I am a big fan of the advances in Medicine through robotics and truly and willingly push for it. However, let's remember something... as much artificial intelligence you can install on a robot, it will never have the say so (or sense, if you want to call it that) to make last minute decisions. Is paying less worth than saving your life? What is the question that should be answered. I wouldn't let a robot operate on me.

I’d do it, Im sure a robot wouldnt leave the tools inside of you before it sews you back up.

there is surgery of the future. In the future, there’s many surgery operated by robots. I would perfer robots than humans.

outfukinrages? lol leik omfg leran tooo speel…. outrageous but i would trust this thing…. and for the record, for the time being this thing is not goinna come cheap, so there fore i doubt it will lower the cost of the operation, not that it matters to me, being canadian, but i bet it would lower the waiting time, these machine can operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week, dont need time off or rest time between operations.

This could also mean that human-performed surgery prices will go up even higher. Also, I’m sure a doctor will be monitoring the operation in most cases.

Yes, it eliminates the human error factor but… how well it’s it program how is it taking desicions about the pacient condition or if any emergency happends there are two many “what if” for a machine…
