Robot Operates on Pig [Brave New World]

From Grauniad of the UK


I suppose that the next step would be to train a pig, assisted by a robot surgeon, to perform surgery on humans: if pigs are similar to humans, humans are similar to pigs. And it could be cheaper to have porcine surgeons assisted by robots than human ones or all-robotic operations. Pigs are intelligent. They learn fast. Also, upon retirement, you would not have to pay them a fat pension - something surgeons and consultants demand and expect. You would turn them into bacon and sausages. Win-win.
