I can't wait until someone decides to shoot one of these drones down.

They must be a bit in the slow side at the NY times.... Old news here given the posts back in April...

The more promotion of positive uses for sUAV the better....

Without a change to transplant regulations in Europe (Germany), this will be nothing for here.
The team that will implant has to be the team that does the explant. So we got a team in the car, drove from Frankfurt to Aachen, the team did the explant, we drove the team including the organ(s) back to Frankfurt and they did the implant.
That achieved by a drone would be miraculous, not only because of the distance (about 250 km one way...), the requiered transport of the team would be another problem.
