Would you be okay with a robot operating on you?

Would you allow a robot to operate on you in surgery, provided that the robot has, in the past, successfully been used for other surgeries? The robot would be totally unmanned.

Totally. I have trust issues with doctors anyway, and I know that human error makes up for most of the problems in operations.

I have also seen the stitching robots that have been assisting with surgeries for a while now, I'd be up for that no doubt.

A robot would be better and more accurate at surgery than a lame human.

Nope.

I can imagine someone not paying attention as "Surgery.exe" stops working and i bleed out on the table.

Adding that a computer controlled robot can't improvise if something goes wrong. And doesn't feel empathy.

No, cuz if the thing gets an error and tears away my liver or smth cuz a sensor fucked up then that won't really be nice.

In decades time maybe if there is an ultra small chance of anything going wrong then maybe

Longboarders/ skaters message me!

yes , as it would be much more precise and efficient than a doctor.

Yes, for all of the reasons about and it would probably make my deductible cheaper.

Totally unmanned with no humans nearby at all or unmanned but with someone supervising?

With current technology I would be fine with it if there was someone nearby who could takeover if something went wrong but give it 5 or 10 years and then I might be okay with a completely unmanned robot.

You do realize that being a surgeon is one of the careers that has a high percentage of psychopaths right?

As long as they do their jobs i don't really care. And i'd still trust a surgeon more than a machine.

Yes especially if designed by deep mind

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

The only reason I say that is because you listed the criteria of "doesn't feel empathy" as being a negative of a robot.

Most of the surgeons you encounter will most likely not be psychopaths though.
