Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

Medical Technology
I have read a few posts about Medical Technology and I was actually thinking about writing one of my papers about this topic. I agree with what most people are saying about medical technology advances that are happening at this moment. I am beyond thankful for the advances in medical technology, people are given a new life by simply having a "robot" arm or leg. I believe that the accuracy and the precision that these machines have are unbelievable and are saving lives every day. However, a full blown robot doing surgery on me or any other human is a scary thought. Humans make mistakes, we all know that. So, who says that the robot a human builds won't make mistakes?? That is a big issue to me, a robot isn't always going to be perfect and more importantly if they did make a mistake are they programed to react to a mistake and the situation and fit it? A human can react to a mistake and fix it or at least get help from someone who can. Although I am thankful for robots in many ways, I do not like the thought of a robot completely taking over the job of a doctor!! I am not even going to go into the fact that a robot taking over the job of a doctor creates a completely different issue!! In the end, my point is that I would rather a human do surgery on me than a robot.
