Students Use Creepy Dental Robot
Some dental students in Tokyo have been practicing emergency medical procedures on a creepy new robot, designed to look and act just like a real-life girl.
The doll can produce saliva and VOMIT. Plus it will automatically react to motions that would cause a human pain or discomfort. They even went as far as allowing instructors to be able to make the doll unexpectedly cough or sneeze.

As creepy as the doll looks, many students are thrilled to be able to practice.
