"I don't think computers will ever supplant the doctor's diagnosis. I think things will change... a computer may become a second opinion, or perhaps even a first opinion, but the doctor will still make the final call."
-Professor Richard Lilford, University of Warwick's Chairman of Public Health
"The surgeon is still in charge, but the low-level aspects of the procedure are being handled by the robot."
-Ken Goldberg, head of the Berkeley Laboratory for Automation Science and Engineering
