 The text discusses a messaging service that allows people to donate their kidneys and other organs after death, with the goal of increasing organ donation rates. The service uses AI-powered robots to extract organs from deceased individuals, and claims to have successfully matched over 250 strangers. The system is designed to be autonomous, with robots able to navigate buildings and avoid obstacles. The company behind the service has partnered with hospitals and universities to develop the technology. The founder of the company believes that the service will increase organ donation rates and save lives. However, some experts have raised concerns about the ethics of using AI-powered robots to extract organs without explicit consent from the deceased or their families.
