Robot Docs

Ran across this article about an investor looking to invest in "robot doctors". Basically, many peolpe are turning to robots for simple surgeries because it eliminates certain factors, such as hand tremors. What I found interesting was when the article stated that surgery is "every bit mechanical as it is medical". I found it interesting that we could have robots working on our bodies the same way one would be fixing and assembling a car. Me? I wouldn't be down.
