Is there a microchip implant in your future? | Fox News
Quote:
Microchip implants like the ones pet owners use to track their dogs and cats could become commonplace in humans in the next decade. Experts are divided on whether they’re appropriate for people, but the implants could offer several advantages. For soldiers and journalists in war zones, an implant could be the difference between life and death. A tracker could also help law enforcement quickly locate a kidnapped child.
This article tries very hard to paint a rosy picture of a society of people with microchips implanted under their skin while just briefly touching upon any potential downfalls. It predicts that this type of technology will be commonplace within the next decade. The article notes that these chips are already used to manage farm animals, so why not people too? Sound good? I'm curious to see what people think about this.

I guess it depends on how these microchips are being use and who can access their data. If a parent who has control issues puts on in their child so they can run off, I guess that's ok (I find is repulsive and would never do that to my child when I have one but sadly that parent has a right to do that). If governments are doing it to monitor their people even further... that's bad. Even if they just use it to say... find missing individuals. That's ok, but it wouldn't take much for someone to turn that into a control system.

All in all, I'd say microchip implanting technology is mostly a negative.

Thanks but I'll pass. I don't need managing.

I am far from a conspiracy theorist and I've made many posts calling out the conspiracy theorists on our forum. With that being said, I see far too much potential for nefarious uses by government and others. I don't think any benefits outweigh this potential.

This was supposed to happen back in the 90s but never did. I know there is a CT that the globalists will require everyone to get a chip for ID and currency and if they don't like you then they just turn off your chip. Conspiracy theory or no, I would rather not be tagged like a farm animal.

You are only against being microchipped if you have something to hide.

You will obey!

Brain implants are also being proposed for things like depression, PTSD, ALS, Alzheimer's. How do people feel about these chips being used for these types of purposes? This is also being discussed in the media a lot lately. The research is being funded by DARPA and is a part of the White's House's Brain Initiative.
