"What's new in the labor ward?"

Posted by cahaya on 04-15-06 at 03:06 PM
A pregnant robot! Her name is Noelle. From a news story:

Noelle's given birth in Afghanistan, California and dozens of points in between. She's a lifelike, pregnant robot used in increasing numbers of medical schools and hospital maternity wards. The full-sized, blond, pale mannequin is in demand because medicine is rapidly abandoning centuries-old training methods.

She can labor for hours and produce a breach baby or unexpectedly give birth in a matter of minutes. She ultimately delivers a plastic doll that can change colors, from a healthy pink glow to the deadly blue of oxygen deficiency. The baby mannequin is wired to flash vital signs when hooked up to monitors. The computerized mannequins emit realistic pulse rates and can urinate and breathe.

Ok, who gets to change the diapers? Noelle is probably too blond to do it herself.

The father wasn't in the delivery room with her. He was out dancing the night away, before knocking up another robot. Don't believe me?


men are such pigs sometimes!

So the ChenBot finally has a clone to do all the hard work.
Just in time for her Summertime hour of horror.

I swear, if this turns into an abortion thread, someone's gonna pay.
