University Health Network and Unither Bioelectronique say they have completed the world's first transplant of lungs delivered by an unmanned drone.

 

The Toronto health-care group and Bromont, Que., bioengineering company say the drone carrying the lungs travelled from Toronto Western Hospital to Toronto General Hospital on Sept. 25.

 

The journey lasted six minutes and was completed around 1 a.m. local time.

That is actually fascinating and a true development for good. 

 

 

The problem is that this is not what people think of when they think of drones. And there's probably a larger anti-drone mindset out there that could potentially lead to bubbas out there with potato guns shooting down organ transplant delivery drones. 

 

 

Maybe this should be all drones are for. Eliminate the combat drones and dog robots with guns on their backs and surveillance bullshit and maybe peoples' opinions will start to change.
