@washingtonpost: Scientists from the University of Queensland and the University of New South Wales have developed paramedic cyborg cockroaches, dubbed “paraborgs,” equipped with miniature injection devices and cameras. More from The Post at the link in our bio. #cockroaches #robots #health
I used to work for a lab that was in the early stages of this. It hurt them so bad that the roaches would actually tear their limbs off. Not humane.

so... this is extremely inhumane... I dont believe that they dont feel this... and if your breeding insects for this it seems like we're just doing another form of puppy farming... trying to find a way to make it "humane" but breeding something just to hurt it and use it for your purposes is cruel no matter how small. I hate the world.

Roaches creep me tf out but I do not think mind control on them is justified or ethical.

In the future, our AI overlords will do this to us. In the meantime, this is the most brilliant freaking thing in the world. Awed.

Someone is not going to use this for search and rescue. There is so many bad ways this can be used.

Imagine being stuck under a collapsed building then seeing a bunch of cockroaches approaching you…..I’d kill them all not knowing they were there to save me 😂

That’s really sad that they put all of that equipment on top of that creatures back. I don’t know why, but I just don’t feel like my life is more important than any other. I know a lot of people don’t agree with that.
