For the first time, a robot performed surgery on 4 animals without being guided by a human. The surgeon said the result was "significantly better than by a human's hands". Would you let a robot do a surgical intervention on you? Do you think it's progress or it's dangerous?
I find this subject very interesting because my parents always told me to live in time and I think this quote is completely in line with this new fact. In addition, I therefore think that I will be for more regular interventions of this type carried out by robots. It's our future the actions done by robots and we shouldn't be afraid of them we're not in a science fiction movie we're the ones who designed them and we're the ones who have control over them them. So I have a very positive opinion about this first operation made by robots.
ReplyDeleteFirst, technological advances in the medical field are always more and more amazing. They manage to achieve so many things especially with new robots that operate on animals or humans.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that they operate 4 animals with a robot and it was better than human hand is amazing. It gives me hope for future medical interventions on humans with this form of robot ; it's very promising.
If a doctor offered to have me operated by a robot I would say yes only if it is supervised by a human, I mean only if a doctor checks that everything is fine.
For me, this is totally progress because it can save so many lives. So I don't think it's dangerous because this robot is often checked by professionals and if something doesn't work well they take measures so as not to put lives in danger.
To conclude, I don't think this puts the medical professions in difficulty because even with robotics, the medical field is a sector where the human being is a necessity. We still need a doctor to replace the robot if something happens. Indeed, the doctor has control over them after all.
Where human beings are necessary
DeleteFirst of all, technology has improved so much during the last decennia and that shows us how much the technological field is growing. The future is based on technology and it's development. Therefore I think it is amazing to hear that robots can be used to save lives. But I'm not sure I would be confident enough to leave my life in a robot's hands and not in an other human's hands. Moreover in my opinion they can always be a technical problem in the development or the practice of a robot contrary to a human that has a brain and is fully conscient of his manipulations.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I think it's an incredible progress, but I don't think I would let a robot do a surgical intervention on me. Indeed, I think it is quite dangerous, and I would trust a human more than a robot, because he has much more experience. To me, to operate is not to perform a simple task on a body, it is to anticipate every complication, to know how to react in case of problem, and to keep the person alive even if it means to stop the surgery. However, I really don't think that a robot is able to do more than a simple task. Moreover, I think it is quite frightening, because robots in general can be dangerous. Moreover, if we create only robots, the profession of doctor will not even exist anymore.
To conclude, I think that these robots should be used only if they are supervised by doctors and in certain situation.

ReplyDeleteHello,
For my part, no I will not let a robot operate on me simply because I think that these new technologies are not yet sufficiently developed despite the assertions of the surgeon. Maybe in the future l'Il dare. I think that the intervention of robots in surgical operations can be dangerous because the technology isn't always safe. Moreover, the creation of robots able to operate could remove work for surgeons who have done long studies.
On the other hand we can also say that a medical error is also possible with a human so is it ultimately more dangerous than a standard operation?
To conclude I think that on the one hand it is important to encourage progress that can bring us many benefits as an operation can be better achieve or even less wait time to plan a surgical operation but on the other hand the new technologies can cause problems, of
errors and disadvantages too.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I find that it's a great step forward and to be put to good use for medicine and personally the fact of having surgical intervention on me by a robot will not bother me because I find that the concept of the robot surgeon seems rather reassuring.
I think the robot can be more reliable than a shaking surgeon. There is less risk of forgetting an instrument in the patient's body. Before being commissioned, the device is tested numerous times. In addition, this method of operation can also facilitate the procedure without making an incision. The robot can be more precise, especially for delicate procedures. I think that's the future. Medicine has made enormous progress. A new artificial heart has been transplanted.
Today, doctors use state-of-the-art equipment. However, technology does not replace humans, surgeons will always be needed to program and guide the robots. However, I would need to have a thorough discussion with the surgeon before the procedure. He will have to provide me with all the guarantees on the quality and the progress of the operation in detail, from the operation of the robot to the manipulation, including the presence of a medical team.
All this to be confident and avoid being stressed.
As the surgeon said that the result was "significantly better than by a human's hands", I would not hesitate to let a robot do a surgery on me but only if it is supervised by a human doctor. In fact, this is how the medical field works : there are always better new ways that the previous ones for patients. So, in my opinion, a robot doing surgeries is progress in terms of technology but the fact that the robot is not supervised is dangerous as sometimes surgeries don't go as planned and doctors discover during the surgery what the patient is really going through. Plus, it is dangerous for economy as assembling a robot is quite expensive and robots also risk to replace human surgeons leading them to become jobless.
ReplyDeleteCorrection :
Delete-risk replacing human surgeons...
I have mixed feeling about this subject.
ReplyDeleteIn effect, a surgical intervention it’s a significant manipulation which requires a particular attention because lifes are in the balance. So, on the one hand i would let a robot do a surgical intervention on me. Because this powerful machine is capable of great precision without any tremors contrary to a human. They should not leave much sequelae in the patient’s body. But a surgical intervention should be assisted by a real surgeon to rassure me. Moreover, this big informatic progress can be also very dangerous. Because on the other hand a robot is a machine which can have informatic problems like breakdowns. He is not able to analyse a real situation and take the right decison in a limited time.
Sorry i made mistakes:
Delete- lives are at stake
- any sequelae
- computer progress
Hello,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I find that it is a great news.
On the one hand, I think that it is a brilliant progress that a robot can do such a good job. Moreover, it did it 4 times and it succeeded. Furthermore, since the animals are not in contact with humans during the procedure, there is less risk that they will have an infection following the surgery.
On the other hand, this robot has never performed on a human. I think that human surgeries are longer, more precise and risker than animal ones. Moreover, robots follow computer programs and do not have the same thinking as real surgeons who have experience. In addition, there are often complications during the surgeries and even if a robot could keep calmer than a human, it is more difficult for him to self-diagnose. That is why I wouldn't let a robot do a surgical intervention on me. Nevertheless, I could accept if it was a little surgery (such as an appendectomy), but only if it was supervised by a real surgeon.
I completely support technological progress in the medical field. It amazes me how fast this progress develops, and so far, it brings positive results for which I'm really happy. But people should be always cautious about what this progress is used for.
ReplyDeleteIf the machine has been tested multiple times with success, then I wouldn't be against it. Of course, I hope that there wouldn't be a need to get me surgery. But if it is the case, then I wouldn't mind it. It is great if technology can bring even better results than a doctor, the most important thing is that a patient becomes healthy and can live a full happy life afterward. But it is still important to have a surgeon on a side while the surgery because we can't be completely sure how the machine will act. I'm afraid that there would be a risk of unemployment because, with this rapid progress, the technology will replace a major part of the doctors which I don't support at all. Humanity needs real doctors, and this progress shouldn't be aimed to replace doctors but instead help them.
So, I'm up to the cooperation of technology and doctors but as a helpful tool to the doctors. I truly hope that it wouldn't be dangerous for society and it will only bring the positive aspects.
First, I find this progress very interesting and more globaly advances in science, medicine, technology and the three combined have always impressed and fascinated me. I'm not surprised that a robot is more accurate than a human during surgery.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, I think that it’s a good idea because a robot can be more performant and precise than a human because it is not subject to emotions such as fatigue, the pressure to do the right thing to not kill the patient, etc. But on the other hand, it was a trial on animals and not on humans and without being guided by a human which leaves me very doubtful so we must keep a critical mind on the subject. Also, a successful trial does not mean that the operation is totally safe and foolproof.
Currently, I would not accept to be operated by a robot without human guidance (as this type of operation is still in the test phase) unless my life depended on it.
To conclude, I think that these operations made by robots are a progress, but we need to monitor them and be careful before operating on real humans because robots can sometimes be unpredictable.
To begin with, technical progress has benefited a lot from the economy. Technical progress includes innovations of a technical nature.
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, I think that it advances the economy and makes it easier to operate but, on another hand I confirm that a robot can make mistakes. So I think it is better to leave this task to a human.
To conclude I think that we should not really give this task to a robot. Personally, I would not leave a robot do a surgical intervention on me because I thinks that can be dangerous.
Everyday, scientists do their best to improve quality of people’s lives. Especially in medicine by finding new medicals treatments or by improving medicals procedures to save lives. Recently, a robot performed a surgery on 4 animals, by itself, and the result has been successful according to a surgeon.
ReplyDeletePersonally, even if the result is promising, I would be more confident if a human performed a surgery on me because I would have been afraid that the robot has a technical issue and kills me. But despite this, I think it’s a progress for medicine and this advanced could be used for risky surgeries because it could be more precises and be more reliable than a human.
To conclude, this is a very promising news and we have to be happy for it. Despite everything, we have to be careful because people’s lives depend on it.
sorry I made some mistakes: -to improve the quality
Delete-new medical treatments
-medical procedures
-the result was successful
-I would be afraid any technical issues that could occur during surgery
Nowadays, technology has evolved to a stage where robots can replace humans for certain tasks that do not require too much thought. As Elbert Hubbard said “One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man”.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, is this robot surgeon a progress or a danger?
First, technological progress is made for humans, most machines were invented because we had a need, and the goal is to help people. For instance, exoskeleton can now help paraplegics walk.
This robot can perform surgery with results "significantly better than by a human’s hands". This will increase the success rate of surgeries and allow more complex surgeries to be performed
However, this technological progress can be dangerous for humans. If I take the previous example, the exoskeleton can improve the capabilities of soldiers during a war. Technology can be used to hurt people.
Furthermore, if technology replaces man in all tasks, he will no longer be able to perform them and if one day these technologies disappear, no one will be able to do this work anymore.
The accuracy of this robot can be used for military purposes. Also, if no one can practice surgery anymore because that robot does everything, the day we can’t use this robot anymore, people will die because they cannot be properly operated.
To my mind, progress is a good thing to improve the lives of humans, but it must be controlled because it can be used for bad purposes or can replace all humans and lead to a loss of know-how. To conclude, I will let this robot perform a surgical intervention on me only if a real surgeon is present because a lot of unexpected things can happen that the robot doesn’t know about, and I think a human brain can’t be replaced if that kind of situation happens.
I think I don't want let a robot do a surgical intervention on me because sometimes A.I can dysfunction and I'm not reassured about that.
ReplyDeleteMoreover this is a progress for technology and science. And a robot will be able to do more surgical intervention en human. But there is a problem, If we have a robot and no one else there will be no more job. So this is a progress and it is dangerous at the same time .

It seems to me that this is great news that reflects our evolution and our technological advances. I think I will let a robot operate on me, provided of course that it is assisted by a doctor and a person with experience in the field of robotics. I think I have enough confidence in technological advances. Everything will depend on the type of robots and the type of operation that I have to undergo. Moreover, if the doctor assists him and he can see or even direct the robot, I have no big worries. It is true that there are chances that it occurs, however the medical error practiced by humans also exists. Finally, a machine can be more precise and meticulous than a human.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI think that this is progress in the way that it saves lives and does it better than a human surgeon. Therefore, I am quite enthusiastic about this innovation that is to my mind a real breakthrough.
I do not think there is any reason to be worried about it since facts prove that this bot is excellent. Hence, if I were about to be operated I would let the bot do a surgical intervention on me if this is what the surgeon advises.
To conclude, I am not an expert and even if I tell my mind I think we have to follow surgeons' instructions.

Personally, I think it's a step forward but I'm still skeptical about this advances.What I'm afraid of with "humans surgeons" is that they can make mistakes, just like any other human, because of the fatigue caused by their long shifts, stress and so on, but I wouldn't easily trust a robot because I'd be afraid that it would be faulty or have any other problems during the operation.Until robots become commonplace in our daily lives, it's going to be hard to trust them.
