Yes, good point Jonathan. We are, in no way, promoting the practice of testing on animals, even if such a solution could help us as humans.

Like most scientists, these guys have no morals about eating, slaughtering or operating on defenceless creatures – I just wish some aliens would land on this Earth (preferably in their back yard) and start inserting electrical probes into their brains in the name of material, mechanistic science. We would then have walking, talking, robot scientists – now that would be interesting!

You could mount a camera on them and land on the window ledge of any high security installation and spy remotely. Also a terrorist could mount explosives on them and also fly them into high security areas and remotely detonate them.

I just hope that these RoboPigeons will be used for good, not evil

I wonder if that is what scientists originally intended with using the homing pigeon; now if only we could install high-powered cameras in their eyes, we could save millions on those unmanned reconnaissance planes!
