| Original entry | When Shaw programs the AutoMed for an abdominal surgery to remove a "foreign body" the machine proceeds to perform a Caesarian section. Since it was calibrated only for male surgery, the entire female reproductive system would have been considered a "foreign body", and the machine would have performed a hysterectomy. [The machine was 'calibrated' to perform designated operations on male patients only, which didn't include a Caesarian section. However, Shaw put the machine into manual override [with a lot of button-pressing] and specifically told it to remove a 'foreign body'. One may reasonably assume that the machine was capable of detecting non-human DNA and therefore had the capability of identifying and removing it, regardless of the physiology of the patient.] |
