Students whip up Operation-playing robots


We know the Hippocratic Oath is kind of implied in Asimov's Three Laws, so we're kind of cleared for takeoff when it comes to robots performing surgery on us hapless meatbags.

And not a moment too soon, because this case of writer's block is totally killing us -- so we'll just end the post here.
