Currently, IBM is working to establish the use of a Watson-esque supercomputer to help advise doctors with their work. While in theory this sounds like an excellent idea, others don't feel that way.

According to the article, on average there are 200,000 deaths a year due to misdiagnosis, why not reduce that number by using this technology?
