  1. I think that is so odd, but incredible that these things can save lives. I think they should be able to be used as long as the devices could be unsaddled and disconnected after the job was done.

  2. I think its fascinating how they use electric pulses to stimulate the roach's antennas to make them think there is an obstacle in the way. This open new windows for science and technology.

  3. I kinda think they could and kinda think they cant but if they can detect earthquakes and stuff like that then they can buy doing something to warn you. But i really think they are gross and nasty and ugly looking i would not want one in my house. You could buy a dog to do the stuff the roaches gonna do cause a dog can detect when an earthquake comes i rather to have a dog with one of those things on its back instead of a cockroach..

  4. I guess that cyborg cockroaches can help save your life by looking for you when there is a earthquake and people get stuck under buildings.

  5. I think its is cool that a cockroach can save lives. I think they should use them, but afterwards it needs to be turned off when they are done

  7. I think its nasty but then again its kinda amazing that something has little and small has a cockroach could save humanity. Its kinda crazy and far out there but, its remarkable.

  8. I think it's stupid how they use cockroaches like that. I don't like cockroaches because they're nasty, but I know I wouldn't want to be like that.

  9. Personally, while I do Find it strange, It's not hard to believe. I do find it amusing that people care so little for these creatures until they can be used to benefit us. Either way, I guess it's not unethical to use them to assist us, so long as they are not mistreated

  10. i think it is crazy but it makes since because the cockroches find stuff that most peopl cant find but its nasty foreal because you have to handle the nasty varments.

  11. I think that it is relevant to say that these cyborg cockroaches are a remarkable thing. They have the ability to save lives that no one else can they can get into small spaces to look for people that are trapped under collapsed buildings after an earthquake and after many other natural disasters. I think that these roaches have alot of potential in saving lives and helping out in the world.

  12. I think that it is intereswting I think these roaches have a lot of potential in saving lives and helping out in the world. I still dont like roaches though, their nasty.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think it's kind of odd how researchers believe cockroaches can help our society. We should be focused on more important topics, not cockroaches.

    ReplyDelete
  14. It seems crazy that just a roach could benefit someones life. Most people find them disgusting or just plain nasty. I find it odd that they could save humanity.

    1. Rebekah, next time try to sound more like all the comments above you. Thanks.

    2. why should I sound more like the ones above me? don't you mean not? this is our own opinion... so your welcome.

  15. I am interested to see how far this technology will go, I was expecting some kind of cheaply made small robot that could be remotely controlled and used to find survivors. But integrating technology and biology could lead to some interesting experiments and projects in the future.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think it's amazing that we have the imagination to even try something like this. I think it will be a great step froward in search and rescue.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think that this is a interesting and a remarkable thing to have. I think having the power to save lives in any disaster is a nice thing to have.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think these cockroaches have a lot of potential in saving lives and helping out in the world they have the ability to save lives that no one else can they get into small space where people are trapped under.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I do think these cockroaches could save many people's lives. Its cool how we thought out of the box and researched this.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think this article is pretty awkward but yet fascinating. It's pretty weird that something so gross can help save lives. But, I think they should only use this till the job is over.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I think its a pretty weird way to do things but its a really good idea. I never thought cockroaches could benifit the life of someone. Its unbelievable that someone would thing of something like this.

  23. I really think that these cockroaches have the ability to save peoples lives they made a good investment on researching this cause.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think it's amazing that they could come up with something like this. It could certainly be helpful, but it is unusual.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think this cyborg like cockroach is quite amazing really. This biobot cockroach can really become a very helpful creation because it can help us during natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricane, etc. it can help to find people that are trapped within a fallen building or under a pile of ruble. This could even be used in the military.

  27. i think it is interesting that we have gone so far in discovering the potential of cockroaches. But if they're in my house i'm gonna kill them. This is Luke Lay by the way....not Ezio.

    ReplyDelete
  28. At first I thought the idea of a robot cockroach was ridiculous but after reading and watching a few videos on how it works now I think it's incredible that something most people fear can help save lives. The cockroaches can just go in the small spaces and whatever equipment is attached to it can detect where the person in danger is.

    ReplyDelete
  29. To be honest the cyborg cockroaches are an interesting innovation in technology. I do believe they have potential to save millions of people after a natural disaster. Yes I do believe that cockroaches are disgusting creatures but if they can help humanity then hey I'm on bored.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think that they have something going for them with this idea. Cockroaches can get into way smaller places then most things. I believe that Cockroaches will be a great use of survival. Once they get out all the glitches that could happen with controlling the roach.

  31. It seems crazy that just a roach could benefit someones life. Most people find them disgusting or just plain nasty. I find it odd that they could save humanity.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well it sure wont help. Why would cyborg cockroaches save our life.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think this technological advance is a great thing. I think we should have found this years ago, like when the Hati earthquake happened, we could have saved lots of lives because the roach can easily got into little spaces. Overall i don't like roaches, but anything to help man kind is good with me.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Its funny to see something so unwanted and something you would think would be so un-useful into something that can save us from tragedy. But it sounds like America to look at something so out of the way on a concept and actually distinguish a good idea on life.

    ReplyDelete
  35. im scared of roaches, but whatever they do i dont really care.
    i dont want them near me though. so goodluck.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't like roaches.They could help save your life so I guess it can not be so scary

    ReplyDelete
  37. I find it strange that a cockroach could save my life, but if it is possible I wouldn't mind using this theory one day if I needed it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think it's cool but there is no way it could save humanity. But, if that's what they wanna think then alright. I think it's kind of odd.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Its crazy that just a roach could benefit someones life. It could be helpful, but it is unusual.And i would never think that a thing that tiny could save a humans life.....

    ReplyDelete
  40. It's odd that a cockroach can save someones life. They are nasty and gross but they can save your life so they are very helpful to the society.It helps us in Earthquakes,Hurricanes,ETC by finding them if they are lost or even trapped.They are sometimes even used in the military.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I personally don't like roaches but it's cool how they could help locate earthquake survivors in the areas that are hard to get to. Roaches can help in ways that humans can't. It's crazy to me that a little bug can help the world.

    ReplyDelete
  42. i don't see why people would depend on cockroaches to save people,but if it works it works.keep at it!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think that it's interesting that you can control them with a remote. I don't understand how they can save our lives. And I think that it's nasty !

    ReplyDelete
  44. I don't like roaches because they are nasty.And yes,they can save humanity, but it is crazy that roaches can do little think.Robotic roaches are kind of crazy and they can go in smaller places.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think its interesting that they have created Remote Control Cockroaches , its also weird and strange too! I dont understand how cockroaches can supposingly save our lives.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I do not like any kind of bugs to come near me, but if it was to save my life i would probably choose to let it save me. I think that this is something that is really helpful for finding someone in a accident that we wouldn't have been able to find before.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think it's fascinating that something so little can save someones life. Cockroaches help save people during Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and Tornadoes. They are helpful to society.

  50. - Its Very Weird And Nasty That Cockroaches Can Save a Human Life.. But To Know That They Can, It Is Very Fascinating And Also Very Helpful To The Society But Very Gross

    ReplyDelete
  51. It's kinda weird but i don't like bugs so i think i would freak out if it came close to me!!! But i guess it's a good thing.

  52. It seems crazy that just a roach could benefit someones life. Most people find them disgusting or just plain nasty. I find it odd that they could save humanity.

    It is very wierd that a roach/insect can help someone. I find them nasty little insect and they are nasty. It's actually kind of funny that they can save someone's life.

    ReplyDelete
  53. At last, an actual use for those things! But did they have to use something that most people are deathly afraid of?

    ReplyDelete
  54. I think that the fact that cockroaches can be used to save a human life is very fascinating. If perfected, this technology could be used to save a lot of people.

    ReplyDelete
  55. It's weird that a cockroach benefited someone because most people don't like them. It's weird how they can save your life.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think its great how they use electric pulses to stimulate the roach's antennas to make them think there is an obstacle in the way. This open new windows for science and technology.

  57. I am terrified of roaches, but at the same time they can save your life so i guess its ok.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Yes, I guess they are helpful and could save lives but the idea is a little bit strange if you ask me!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think it would be very helpful, and should be used in the near future

  61. It's strange how they can be helpful to the society, but its exciting that they can know stuff that humans cannot know.

  62. A cockroach being able to save a persons life is very unusual. The cockroach is a very good idea because it could save so many lives and it can get into places we cant.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Well, I guess but its weird how something so small can save someones life.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I think they could save our life in some ways such as letting us now when a hurricane and earthquake is coming.. but other than that! The idea is kind of awkward to me!

    ReplyDelete
  65. It's cool that they can benefit the environment and know when an earthquake and hurricanes are coming.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Its strange how cockroaches can be helpful to society but it would be amazing if they can.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I think it's weird, but somehow fascinating. If they improve it, I think it could be very helpful and could possibly save many peoples lives.

  69. I think it's interesting that a cockroach can find earthquake survivors. Most of the time people, such as myself, find cockroaches to be disgusting creatures. People come up with fascinating ways to open new windows for technology.

  70. It's weird but cool how the robo-roaches can find earthquake survivors. I think they are nasty but I could see how they can get into tiny spaces unlike rescue dogs.

  72. im scared of roaches, but after reading the article they seem to save people lives. the robo-roaches can find earthquake survivors.

    ReplyDelete
  73. That is so creepy but cool. I would have never thought cockroaches could save lives. It's also cool how they can locate earthquake survivors in hard areas. I Would have never knew that we could put technology on cockroaches.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I think it is very strange. I don't like the fact that it is roaches.It could be very helpful and could possibly save many peoples lives. It's weird how something so small can help something so big.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I think its a very smart yet an unusual idea. Not many people would think cockroaches can help benefit our society or environment, i especially didn't before reading this article. I think it could possibly save many lives by letting us know a earthquake or such is coming. They are small creatures so they can move faster and get in smaller places than we can. If they improved this idea i think it could work.

    ReplyDelete
  76. This is kinda nasty. I didnt know roaches could save lives. Its wierd how things in the world work who would have ever thought that roaches were technological lol!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Its very interesting that their electric pulse can't really hurt them and I really didn't know they could save lives in this world, i thought they were destroying the world were their deformed bodies.

  79. I think that the roaches can help people alot.They can help find people in disasters and earthquakes and tornados.They can really help people,but I couldn't see that they really could use technology on roaches,but ok then.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I think using cockroaches to save lives is weird but a good idea because they can fit int small spaces and find people like earthquake survivors. Its interesting that cockroaches can't feel pain,the electrodes jest stimulate cells in their antennas and make them think there is an object in front of them so they turn and go another way.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I think it's strange, yet fascinating that roaches could save a humans life. The are so small so they can fit in tiny places to help people. I think this could work over time.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I find it interesting how they create these "bio-roaches", I thought they would've used fake roaches instead of real ones, I also find it very fascinating how they can be used to find people who are trapped under stuff after earthquakes.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think that it would be cool to see a cockroach with a tracker running around.But I don't think that they could save someone. they could be used to look for missing people and that's all i think they can be used for.

    ReplyDelete
  84. that is amazing what they can do with cockroaches and i did not know that cockroaches can find people after earthquakes

    ReplyDelete
  85. Its amazing how our technology is advancing. The fact that we can attach a miniature chip on the back of a roach to control it is just mind boggling. That opens endless possibilities to the future.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I do believe that cyborg cockroachs are good idea. They would be better suited rescue missions in tight areas since that is practically their natural habitat. And the fact that scientist are doing this in a way that aren't hurting the little creatures. So I'm all for this idea.

    ReplyDelete
  87. One thing I found truly interesting about this article is that they can do surgery on the roaches at all. I mean they are so small it is practically impossible. Also I found it great how we can use a creature that so many people are afraid of to be used to save their lives. I just find that truly amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I think this is very interesting. I think that its cool how they are able to do this using roaches. It's kind of weird that they used such creatures. But its smart because they used them because they were so little

    ReplyDelete
  89. I believe that's incredible how you can attach a miniature device on a cockroach's back. That really blows my mind. The things people do with advanced technology is amazing. I think it's a great idea. If it can help us and not harm them, then I say use it as much as possible.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I really dislike cockroaches, but i do like the fact that they can save our lives. Thats crazy also i think the fact of a cyborg cockroach is also really cool also it is very hard to kill a cockroach it takes like two steps to kill it which means it can fight our battles. I love this idea. Hirschey out!!!

    ReplyDelete
  91. One thing i like about this article is how their using technology on small insects. The thing that caught my attention is that they can control the roaches to do what the want

    ReplyDelete
  92. i think it shows resourcefulness that we can control a cockroach with just a little computer like chip on its back. I also think it is interesting that a person was able to perform a successful surgery on such a tiny creature. It is good that we can use it for search and rescue missions and all of the other possibilities.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I think that it is amazing. It's unusual, but it's amazing. To think that they could take technology and put it on a roach so that they can control its movements and see its surroundings would be unheard of 20 years ago. This could certainly be helpful in certain situations such as a cave in at a mine. It could be very beneficial.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I believe this is a amazing discovery. Roaches that controlled are a new and improved experiment. This might not only save lives but also do dangerous missions.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I think that this is very odd, but then it's pretty amazing that a little insect like a cockroach can save our lives. I think it's pretty amazing how the electric pulses do not hurt the cockroaches and they use them to steer around objects that are in their way.

    ReplyDelete
  96. It seems crazy that just a small disgusting cock roach could help someone in life. I find it interesting but odd at the same time that they could make a difference in human life.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Its great how they use cockroaches to help people and how they put a tiny microphone to pick up cries for help, so i think that use them would help out a lot

    ReplyDelete
  98. What i found interesting is that a cockroach can save peoples lives and I also think that it is outstanding that it can locate earthqakes suviors.

    ReplyDelete
  99. The thought of cockroaches on me is not the best thing ever but, yes I do think they can save lives. With the things that scientist come up with now and when people are having surgery and needs a certain type of procedure done, the cockroaches can get to a place the doctors cant and probably make a big difference in other lives.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Its nice to see that human technology is improving in many different ways. And i think its interesting how people can use roaches in this kind of way.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I thought this was very interesting. A Cockroach saving someone's life.. One way it can help them is by rescuing them from an earthquake,, the backpack on their back carry a little microphone and beacon that can hear when someone cries for help, it can help people get to them.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I think it's amazing that we can make it were insects can help save lives. Even though they still have to have people operating the devices it can still help more than we can.

    ReplyDelete
  103. i think it is good how they make these tiny creature help say some people and they make these tiny technology on the roach to control them to go,stop,and turn like a robot this is real cool and smart.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I do think that using Cyborg cockroaches will be a great ideas. It says that the surgery is quite simple and quick and it could save lives!! Their bodies are used to dangerous environments and are already programmed to run when they sense any bit of danger so it is hard to squash them.

    ReplyDelete
  105. It is very disgusting to have roaches on you. But roaches could probably help out a whole lot. They probably would be better than the techniques or technology they use today.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Since cockroaches have been around for a long time and have survived through harsh conditions it would only make since they would choose it to use for their studies and works for helping people.I think it is very fascinating that scientist are finding new and interesting ways to help people.Especially robotics!

  109. what had supprized me was that these little bug could carry all that equipment and that they accterally help us in natural disarters

    ReplyDelete
  110. I think it's a good idea! But I never thought that a cockroach could save someone's life. I also never thought that someone would perform "surgery" on a cockroach, Like putting a thing in them to make them stop, go and turn. Or putting glue on it's back to carry a "backpack" that has a locator in it and a little microphone to hear people that are crying for help. But it is a good idea!

    ReplyDelete
  111. I think that this technology could be very useful and could save a lot of lives. I'm just slightly worried about people using this technology for the wrong reasons. I really like how they found a way to control the cockroaches by using their natural instincts instead of by administering pain.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I'm not a really big fan of cockroaches; anybody could tell you that. I would have never thought about a cockroach saving a human's life. The cockroaches are having chips inserted into them so they could find us in case of an eathquake.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I think the fact that people discovered how to use electric pulses to stimulate cockroach's antenna sensors is incredible, and if they could help find people lost from disasters, that's even better. It also apparently doesn't hurt the disgusting thing, so it's ethical. My only objection is the fact that I'm highly allergic to cockroaches, and I'm sure there are others who are too. Couldn't that kill me just as fast as being trapped from an earthquake?

    ReplyDelete
  114. i would have never thought that a roach would be able to save someones life . The way technology has come over the year is amazing its also cool that these things could be used to save someone from a earthquake .

    ReplyDelete
  115. i think it is pretty wierd how a cockroach can save somones life,but it is a cool thang to try.

    ReplyDelete
  116. The cockroaches are earthquake detectors in term. They are controlled by electrical pulses which is neat. They are small enough to fit into small areas for surveillance.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I think it's really cool the way scientist's use these roaches as cyborgs. The roaches have they're very own little bachpacks, antennae's, and cerci (what ever that is) to control them. To make this insect into a robot these guys froze them which causes them to hibernate and inserted remote powered gadgets inside of them with tweezler's and a microscope. they can pick up cries for help from they're backpacks. I never thought cockroaches could save lives, you can't tell me that is not awesome. :0

  118. i think it's pretty cool how a common household cockroach can save someones life,but i believe it could be possible.

  119. i think it would pretty cool to have a cockroach to save someones life but nasty to. It would be very scientific to do that because nobody is none of doin that.

  122. This is a a great passage because this is a great thing to look forward to roaches having backpacks on there back with microphones and magnets wireless

  123. yes cockroaches could save lives but i still don't understand how because they are disgusting
