Uncovering values in the artefact Sample Clauses

Uncovering values in the artefact. As already mentioned, the da Vinci Surgical System is a robotic device that is intended to extend the benefits of current minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Surgery robots are technical artefacts that must interact with humans. It is claimed that moral issues are taken into consideration in the design. In the first step, we want to understand which kind of moral considerations have in fact been taken into account at the design stage. In order to uncover the ethical issues and problems, the technical side involved has to be tested and experienced empirically. In order to address this issue, we were supported by the engineers of BioRobotic Institute (SSSA), which make researches on robotics surgery (Xxxxxx et al., 2008) and by Endocas (Xxxx. Xxx Xxxxx, Endocas xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx University of Pisa). Furthermore, we underwent a test run with the da Vinci Simulator and the da Vinci robot itself under the supervision of Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (University of Pisa). We observed that da Vinci does indeed run certain protocols that constrain and regulate human behaviour in a minimally moral sense and slow down procedures. However, substantive moral values that can influence human behaviour in a more encompassing way are nowhere to be found. Intuitive Surgical Inc.’s advertisements insinuate that da Vinci can make surgeons into super surgeons. But this idea seems to lack adequate support. Suffice it to say that we did not, in fact, become expert surgeons in the process. It is therefore no surprise that Intuitive Surgical Inc.’s marketing messages have been widely criticized. Xxxx Xxx Xxxxx’s remark is a case in point. As he aptly noted, it is not enough ‘to wear the shirt with the 10 to make a good scorer’.
