Needle Free Injections With Microjets

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the very-star-trekkish dept.

IZ Reloaded writes "Do you hate needles? In the near future, the fear of needles would be a thing of a past. Bioengineering students at the University of California, Berkeley have developed the MicroJet. It uses an electronic actuator that could one day propel vaccinations, insulin or other drugs through the skin of the patient - without the device even touching the skin - with far less pain than a hypodermic needle."

    *and the article fails to address the issue that this technology could become so painless that you do not even realize that you are receiving drugs. This becomes very scary.*

    maybe that's because that's totally fucking stupid fear to have. ever occurred that you don't really need this invention for that?
