Default What do you think about this??

You can read the rest at the link.
There's not a lot of middle ground on the subject of implanting electronic identification chips in humans.

Advocates of technologies like radio frequency identification tags say their potentially life-saving benefits far outweigh any Orwellian concerns about privacy. RFID tags sewn into clothing or even embedded under people's skin could curb identity theft, help identify disaster victims and improve medical care, they say.

Critics, however, say such technologies would make it easier for government agencies to track a person's every movement and allow widespread invasion of privacy. Abuse could take countless other forms, including corporations surreptitiously identifying shoppers for relentless sales pitches. Critics also speculate about a day when people's possessions will be tagged--allowing nosy subway riders with the right technology to examine the contents of nearby purses and backpacks.

If I were christian I might somehow relate this to Revelations and the mark of the beast.

I believe these trends could be of some benefit, but the potential for abuse is tremendous. Not in my body, as long as I am alive.

I don't want to defile my body with one of those. Maybe felons or other criminals should be required, but not everyone.

Well I think it stinks, too. Talk about big brother watching you.

J3kc1, Why should a criminal that has done his time be required to where have this implant?

Why does a convicted sex offender who has done his time have to register for the rest of his life ? Because people want to know where his rotten azz is , that's why . Hardcore offenders(murder,rape,child molester/killer) should be tracked for life , the public deserves to know if somebody dangerous lives nextdoor .
