Leave it to the Japanese to make a robot for … removing dead bodies from the street! Must be preparing for Zombie Walk [wiki] Tokyo or something.

    i just get the sad idea of dying on the street on somehwere in a giant metropolis and then having this fucking ROBOT handle my carcass and then wiz on it's way through the city to dump my body off at some morgue. A totally dehumanizing near future image. You die, this thing picks you up and off you go and then the city and traffic all go back to normal, as if nothing ever happened, like ants, as if society itself is trying to make your death more efficient. Sure you might a save a few METs and Doctors some bad gruesome hands-on carcass work at a crash site or something but aren't they supposed to do that shit anyway ? Uglyness I say!

    OMG! Do I really get to say it first?

    . . . and then they process the bodies into Soylent Green.

    Well, it's efficient, but how often do people die in the street in Japan?

    i'm doin a college project on unconsiderd deaths and this is what came up and it's more srewed up than my mum the idea that no humanbeing will care coz they will just get a robot to suck me up and spit me out like i'm a car part found on the road. what about little children they deserve better that soon will just be taken off and recycled. it's not human do these people not think that one day it maybe them or some one they care about being treated so carelessly and without human emotion like your rubbish we see all around us .tinkabell age 18 and i know better than to let this happen

    One day one of these will be zooming along the street and hit someone then pick them up grind them up and nobody will know what happened making them the new generation of mafia hitmen.

    Damn and I was considering a career in either body pick up or assassin TECHNOLOGY HAS STOLEN MY FUTURE

    This is totally insensitive to the dignity of a deceased human being. But I myself wouldn't want to touch a disfigured corpse with body parts scattered across the street.
