The stunning array of potential uses ADS is pushing aggressively include the implantation of prisoners, parolees, people under house arrest, children, the elderly, airport workers, nuclear power plant workers, gun owners and computer users (as a form of logon ID).

Enough said.

There could be some benefit to the chips, on a volunteer basis. Maybe the chips could be used with pacemakers, to diagnose problems without having to go to the hospital, for example, or to jumpstart a stopped heart by remote control. But overall, I would never agree to any mandatory chip installation. If people want to put these things in their bodies, by all means go ahead.

The grey area I see is with children-- foolish parents will want to put a chip in their kids, so that they can track them down in cases of kidnapping, or to see if they are at the library or the arcade. This would be abusive in my view.

Have these morons never heard of ID bracelets? Put a chip in that, for crying out loud.

I can't wait for the lawsuits in ten years when these implants break, cause cancer, or react to some IV drug-users choice of 'stimulation'.

That's the mantra of today: Surrender essential freedom liberty for security. Forget about the possible abuses. The government loves you. It's for your own good. You're not a terrorist, are you?

It may be voluntary today, BUT will it stay that way???????????

"I can't wait for the lawsuits in ten years when these implants break, cause cancer, or react to some IV drug-users choice of 'stimulation'."

"...And it will cause all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, to have a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and it will bring about that no one may buy or sell, except him who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of its name..."

'...And the first went and poured his bowl over the earth, and a sore and grievous wound was made upon the men who have the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshipped its image. "

Not usually one to throw about Bible verses, but your comment struck an eeire parallel.

and can you imagine the amount of dodgy surgeons accepting cash to remove them?

[EggsAckley]

It's times like this that I'm GRATEFUL that I'm old. I don't like thinking about what
the future generations will be put through. I would go hide out in a cave before
I'd let these MFers implant ANYTHING in me. The implications of this idea are so deeply evil
that it takes my breath away.

I don't like it. I don't want it. I'll never get one. Thanks for the warning.

[Notwithstanding]

Seems to be a constitutional issue. Bodily integrity.

[Judith Anne]

Yes.
