Canadians Create Intelligent Medicine

RunAmuk writes "Engineers at the University of Calgary have developed a pill that, once swallowed, will determine how healthy or ill the patient is, and will release just the right amount of medicine accordingly, according to an article on Wired. As the sensors used in these pills grow more advanced are doctors going to be come obsolete except for real physical injuries? Of course, anyone who has been to a doctor in Canada understands that we need medicine that can do the diagnosis for them."

Interesting, I've never thought of that. That said, it seems to fit. Just look up "socialism" on Dictionary.com and you'll find this (somewhere down on the page):

socialism

n 1: a political theory advocating state ownership of industry 2: an economic system based on state ownership of capital [syn: socialist economy] [ant: capitalism]

Sounds like you have a socialist medical system to me. Maybe they don't call it that in Canada because they don't want you to realize it's Communism? I know Canada isn't communist, but it's just the other side of the coin. Interesting, eh?
