badrobotsurgery.com (run by a personal injury law firm) has been registered since 2012, so people have been dealing with this for a while (I have no knowledge or opinion about the firm or the merits of the lawsuits -- I just ran across it on a list of weird domain names a while back).
Pure reactionary fear-mongering. Any new technology will have quirks that will eventually get fixed when they are found. As always, the problem is not the technology but the profit incentive for introducing the technology. To introduce a new technology properly, much more money needs be spent to train people and oversee the technology until it becomes reliable. But since the motive to introduce technology in the first place is to save money, it's just not going to happen. The real problem is capitalism. This is a fine example on how it is a drag on the progress of science and technology. The real drivers of science and technology are curiosity and laziness. The latter should be celebrated.
