Remote control humans

[Ashy]

Mad scientists in the UK figured out how to steer humans via remote with so much accuracy, they could steer test subjects through a botanical maze, blindfolded.

How did they do it? The scientists from Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, University of New South Wales, and University College London electrically stimulated the subjects' semicircular canals. That subtly forced the participants to change paths to maintain balance. The researches see the technology being incorporated into physical therapy, and virtual reality. We can't wait for all the new pranks, and the house-broken zombie hordes.

Those scientists should:

A) Break the remotes.

B) Forget they ever did this.

C) Wash their hands and brains thoroughly.

D) Burn the evidence.

This should never've happened. In the wrong hands this'll serious screw the human race over.

That is just crazy scary. I am sure glad that I do not live there.

What kind of sick crap is that. That is just crazy. That person should be locked away for a long time.

Recently scientists managed to create a remote control pidgeon...

You could use this technology to make a program that is a cross between Big Brother and The Sims!!!

I can see where that might nip the obesity problem in some countries as you could control when each person ate and what it was that they were eating. But still it is just morally wrong.
