Dr. Toilet Will See You Now!

I'm all for technology in the home but this toilet mentioned in an article at CNN.com seems a little much to me:
The "Intelligence Toilet" system, created by Japan's largest toilet company, Toto, can measure sugar levels in urine, blood pressure, body fat and weight.
The toilet, which starts at $3,500, was developed by Toto in conjunction with homebuilder Daiwa House Industry.
Users begin their toilet-room medical at the built-in urine analyzer, which collects five cubic centimeters (0.15 fluid ounces) of urine before analyzing sugar levels. The device cleans itself automatically after the one-minute long test.
What will they think of next? A toaster that discusses your "feelings"?

I guess this is not ridiculus. Imagine that doctors will not anymore need someone’s urine for testing? The toiilet will do all the dirty work? =p
