Yeah I'm sorry but, if it's a choice between putting this thing in me or going without cancer treatment, I'd have to give some serious thought to the latter.

Okay first of all let's just get it out of the way. Obviously we're all thinking of the T-1000 here.

Okay now that we've addressed that, here's the details on this repulsive little creature-thing:

Scientists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have created a magnetic slime robot. It can carry out tasks like fixing broken circuits and picking up objects. They also think one day it could be put inside the human body to do things like finding items that have been swallowed by accident.

The slime robot can move around controlled by magnets, surround things in the shape of a C or O and pick them up, and can even interconnect electrodes. "The ultimate goal is to deploy it like a robot," Zhang told The Guardian. "We still consider it as fundamental research trying to understand its material properties."

Uh huh. Yeah any quack that tries to put this horror show down my throat is gonna get the same implacable response every time:

If I swallow a marble by accident I'll get it out myself with no help from this monster, thanks very much.
