"Tiny, careful cuts; Robot surgery, is an article posted the Economist, which has

previously posted many articles on medical robots. This topic is safely expressed by the

other of this article showing all of the positives of robotics. These pros that the author

reveals are shown through logical examples. These pros consist of the safety,

effectiveness, and preceding events of these robots. They can create short recovery
 periods for patients that have been recently operated on and are very safe. Readers would

definitely be persuaded by the safety and effectiveness of these nanorobots in

microsurgery.

The article Medical Robotics; To the point, posted on the news magazine called The

Economist, explains the potential that robotics in the field of medicine would be highly

beneficial to any patients. Their claims are supported with current examples in the status

quo and examples and statistics of success rates with robotics. These examples show the

effectiveness of the life-saving precision of the robotics with non-contradicting evidence

and statistics. The article also claims that the people are the only reason why robotics are

not widely used because of the lack of trust in robots which will be supervised and

droned by qualified physicians. These examples and explanations show the capabilities

of the robots.

 Patrick Tucker of the magazine The Futurist, clearly shows the effectiveness of robots in

treatment for cancer and other diseases. He explains the usefulness of the technology and

shows its superiority over the current technologies. The examples he uses shows how

practical this new technology is compared to current medical procedures. These

instances are shown through examples of what these robots can do. For example, the

nanobots are able to go through interstices throughout the human body and treat cancer

cells. This article persuades the reader of the wide range of abilities that these machines

posses.

are using robots to cut costs and improve quality, is a senior editor for The Assembly. In

this lengthy article he expresses almost every pro for a medical robots ranging from

operations, treatments, and internal medicine. He supports these claims by adding real

word examples. For instance he reveals the error reductions rates in a simple angioplasty

procedure. He does not use his own personal beliefs and does not refer to anything but

certain statistics and informative examples. Weber expresses a very unbiased point-of-

view towards the topic and will provide well rounded information on the scientific

impacts.
