Robot Birth Simulator Gaining Popularity
posted by coderman at 2006-04-18 22:53

coderman: "The full-sized, blond, pale mannequin is in demand because medicine is apidly abandoning centuries-old training methods that use patients as guinea pigs, turning instead to high-tech simulations. It's better to make a mistake on a $20,000 robot than a live patient."
coderman: "sex toy retailer realdoll incorporated has indicated they will be adding a line of "knocked up" dolls to their sex toy collection."
Ash: lies, it is way better to use real people to make mistakes on
coderman: "Noelle models range from a $3,200 basic version to a $20,000 computerized Noelle that best approximates a live birth."
coderman: "She can be programmed for a variety of complications and for cervix dilation. She can labor for hours and produce a breach baby or unexpectedly give birth in a matter of minutes."
coderman: "The computerized mannequins emit realistic pulse rates and can urinate and breathe." -- OH MY GOD, SHE PEED IN MY EYE!?!!? AUGGGH
