Would you let a robot operate on you with no surgeon in control?

The owl's take

The rejection is massive and unambiguous : close to eight in ten voters refuse the idea of fully autonomous robotic surgery, with no indecision at all.

The generational split is striking : 25-34 year-olds vote yes unanimously, while those 45 and older refuse entirely. The 18-24 group leans no, but with more openness.

Gender creates no divide whatsoever : men and women land on exactly the same proportions.

Voices in the debate circle around a shared fear : a technical failure mid-operation. Even the one yes expressed slips in a worry about the machine breaking down. One voice floats the idea of a surgeon watching from the sidelines, present but not in control, as an instinctive middle ground.
