I know in a sci-fi sense this is cool, but I just feel sorry for the bugs that are literally being turned into cyborgs. I mean its gotta hurt. Plus what if they revolt and take over the world in a skynet-like way?

For years, now, Pentagon-backed researchers have been trying to create cyborg insects that could serve as living, remote-controlled spies.  The problem is, those modified bugs never survived long enough to be useful.  Now, Georgia Tech professor Robert Michelson says he’s managed to get the bug ‘borgs to live into adulthood.
