I imagine that death-by-heart-problems would drop dramatically if we had sparse drones in the sky that could monitor or be called down, and were capable of administering drugs, proper CPR, and defibrillation as-needed. In the event of an accident, the tentacles evolve to help stabilize the patient's neck (or other limbs that could be broken). Once the drones already patrol, you could see them being adapted to police work with little effort. | |

But sometimes it helps to reflect on things, and cnsider things like 'i am paying 100'000 times as much money, use millions times more energy to achieve the same result... could it be that i'm overdoing things? The above proposal is a bit rube-goldbergish in my eyes | |
