[2014]This amazing remote-controlled contraceptive microchip you implant under your skin is the...

By 2018, it may be possible to purchase a contraceptive microchip that you implant under your skin that delivers birth control hormones automatically into your blood stream every day for as long as 16 years. That’s the vision of Microchips, a Massachusetts-based startup formed by MIT researchers who are developing a remote-controlled drug delivery microchip you would implant under your skin near your abdomen (or, if you prefer, your backside region). Without having to go back to a doctor, women would be able to switch birth control hormones on and off at the touch of a button.

That’s a big idea and it’s no wonder it’s attracted the attention of Bill Gates, who is backing the microchip contraceptive through the family planning unit of his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

the chips are encrypted, so no hacking

Uh huh.

Yeah ... Men of Sodom, perhaps?

It was a hastily engineered design rushed into production without proper field testing.

No Mark-of-the-beast comments yet?

The mark of the beast will most likely be a DNA modification that gives you immortality (and removes any chance at salvation since you are no longer fully human) after the false alien savior comes down from the clouds with the technology.

All the elites in the Illuminati prefer small children for their sexual appetites. You can't reach the highest levels without being a pedo.

That's probably been the main driving force behind the various means of artificially-induced sterilization (i.e., "birth control") --until now.

This device is aimed squarely at humanity itself. This is built for depopulating the planet and comes straight from the pit of hell.

From the Huffington Post: "But the idea for the device apparently came from Bill Gates himself."

Wow.

I heard this mentioned on Catholic Answers' recent 8/19 broadcast regarding "The Overpopulation Myth." I was shocked.

Government schools are indoctrination centers and are a danger to any freedom lover.

It's so overwhelming. You have to believe that Our Lord can put a stop to this.

Have to.

Abortion pushers will hate this. Fewer women getting pregnant, fewer babies to kill, decreased profit.

A long-term birth control method that women can all but forget about is the abortion industry’s worst nightmare.

Although the WHO does a lot of good work improving the health of third world inhabitants, it has a dark side. Some WHO representatives work tirelessly to do as many abortions as possible on third world women, instead of providing them health care. They think of schemes to increase abortions among these women. It is horrific.

I think that the potential of these chips to put abortionists out of business is fantastic.

I think the pipe dream of switching women's fertility on and off like turning a switch is just plain never going to come true. The reproductive system is simply too complex.

We already have long-term hormonal contraceptives - injections and implants - but they don't always work to prevent pregnancy, and their collateral effects are not negligible (to any decent person). In spite of the claim that they are "reversible," all forms of hormonal contraception result in an higher incidence of infertility, either temporary or permanent.

In order to guarantee sterility absolutely, the drug would have to be so powerful that it would either quickly persuade the women to "turn it off" or it would make them so sick they'd do a poor job as sex partners.

If your thoughts are correct, then abortion pushers hate the current birth control methods like pills, condoms, etc.? Is this the case?

Correct answer.

I don't think it's possible for N. Korea not to implement this.

I see the Chinese also implementing this to enforce their one-child policy. To what degree mandatory implantation is implemented will probably only be limited by logistics.
