Imagine a capacity sensor around the artery and a capsule of blood thinner.. This could be historic instead of gone history.


Yeah, I think in the future they will be surprised how we ever managed to survive without an integrated sensor array to detect problems as they arise.


The headline made me sad but this comment made me laugh. If only all life's problems could be handled with simple engineering. With all the machinery you'd have to stuff everywhere, there'd be a lot more problems.

Oh, machinery like pacemakers, knee implants, cochlear implants? Seems to me we have far too little of such machinery, rather than too much.

They can't.

No, complex engineering is another thing entirely.
