Living robots built using frog cells

[We Never Know]

One step closer to a "terminator"

Scientists repurposed living frog cells -- and assembled them into entirely new life-forms. These tiny 'xenobots' can move toward a target and heal themselves after being cut.

I'm going to get in line to be assimilated by our new Borg collective overlords.

I thought scientists were supposed to use frog DNA to build dinosaurs.
I’m honestly a little disappointed

Any technology, once proven and established, can be used for good or ill. A shaped stone can grind grain to meal to feed a family of crack skulls. Of course, a shaped stone can't escape control and mutate to something else.

Didn't he get killed by Captain Dissection?
