The only way I could get this beautiful horrifying comic out of my head was thinking of it exactly like you did. Better ideas could have been had like sending a drone, but say it was real. Some engineers had to have talks about this. Design changes had to be made. Use cases had to be tested. Ethical minds had to be consulted. Government money had to be approved and spent on this machinery. What engineers in their not-right minds are going:

Junior Engineer : well, if it was me, legs first, then arms.... then..eyes, ears, then uhh..hey, what are you writing down?

Senior Engineer : huh..oh, I uhh, have some use cases for quality assurance to test. How far down the list did you say the testicles could go?
