People just aren't selfless anymore.  :-\

"He said that as explorations “occur in the body”, the trainer in unable to see what the trainee is doing and vice versa. And medics rarely get the chance to do their sweet work as few patients volunteer to be probed.

“In fact there is only one person registered in the country as a test subject, called a Rectal Teaching Assistant (RTA) in the UK,” said Bello."

Robotic rectums? We need to inquire with an expert on the subject:

We've taken taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own ...

Johnny Carson used to say he had nictophobia which he defined as the fear of being naked and backing into a cold doorknob.

While we're on the subject, why hasn't anyone discussed this recent astronomy news? (https://www.yahoo.com/news/uranus-may-salty-electric-may-125409798.html)

Uranus was pounded by something huge. Yep. There’s so much we don’t yet know about Uranus, and also about Neptune, we guess, but we’re more interested in Uranus.

As for the robo butt; underwhelming.
