'Necrobotics'

Scientists turned dead spiders into robots.
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/dea … -necrobots
In a new field dubbed “necrobotics,” researchers used dead arachnids to clutch objects three sequence images of a syringe stuck in a dead wolf spider as it picks up a spider corpse

Normally I'm all for science but I think I might morally object to this way of thinking, it just seems 'weird'. will Mars be a planet known for Controlling dead things, the dead on Mars might not be allowed die, they the Zombie Cat or Dog might be asked to solider up and they still have work to do!

Maybe not as morbid as those horror magic witchcraft stories of Necromancy nor as Dystopian as Neuromancer by William Gibson

“My eyes went wide,” Brendan Parent, an assistant professor of bioethics at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, said about the moment he first read the new findings. “My brain went to all the crazy places we could go in 20 or 30 years.” Parent was not involved in the study, but was asked by Nature to write a commentary discussing the implications of the new technology.
