Robo sponge bath

No, thank you.
The Georgia Institute of Technology develops a robot that can give people sponge baths.

The mere thought of it gives me what doctors refer to technically as the "heebie jeebies".

It's giving me the hebbie-jebbies too.

I dread to think how Sarah connor feels about it . . .

Funny thing about all the grand ideas for "patient care" machines. Nobody has ever figured out how to make one that has a bedside manner.

Of course, the medical professionals who advocate them are more often noted for having bedside attitudes, so they probably wouldn't notice the difference.
