Implanted microchips are not for me. But I'd wager that some time in the future, governments will try to require it.
How about when it's time for Obama care to take effect. Would you be happy to allow this to get ANY FREE medical care? NOT in my lifetime!
The USA represents less than 5% of the worlds population and so does its healthcare system, and other countries do it differently 
....well not yet anyway...remain fit and well and you may never need one...but amongst my older friends the situation is moving toward 'dead' or alive with an implant...interesting decisions for all of us ahead!
Gold alloy and plastics reinforcing and replacing parts of my teeth.
Polypropylene mesh holding my guts in.
I prefer biological repairs as they are self-sustaining, but go with what you have that works.

Met too - but I cant get all biological solutions/repairs yet....but organic electronics may be on the way!
While I'm not so keen on having implanted chips, I'm totally good with other repairs. Everyone that I know that has had knee replacements wish they had done it sooner. Their lives are much better now. If a similar repair would make this pain in my shoulder go away, I would jump on it. (Going to the Dr. today.)
The downside to all of this is of course the cost. The average person can't afford this stuff without insurance.

Funnily enough I have had a bad shoulder for about 12 months after sleeping on the red eye on a really hard seat! Cost wise - depends where you live on the planet - and the savings in care facilities when you are restored to independence.
OH, So in so's pit bull's heart rate is up, maybe we should neutralize it and fine the owner. After all find the pet, find you.
Can you say EMP? Are you willing to risk the possibility of frying electronics in your body when our unstable world system or the sun decides to send CME's our way? I don't think so! You guys are not as stable as you think. What part of this doesn't sound fishy to you? Can you say NO privacy? Or, am I just nuts? How about 6-6-6, the U.P.C. rfid chips, attached to Obama care, need i go on? You really don't think this is a coincidence, do you? OK, Maybe I'm just nuts? Do a little research on transhumanisation. My "Heads-up display" is talkin' to me right now, and it's sayin' this ain't gonna be pretty.

I don't think you are nuts but you are ill informed - the EMP problem for pacemakers was craked a couple of decades ago - and as for privacy, security and safety - they are all relative quantities and not absolutes! We can engineer it to the level that satisfies the majority.
About this stuff. It was so poorly done, I figured it was a joke.
When they save you life with a pacemaker or an electro-brain stimulator you will see things rather differently
No we are not - there are far more good neurons on the planet than bad - and the upside of this technology can be the difference between living and dying, a good quality of life or a living hell....this is about people trying to help people....with what we have in our technology tool chest right now...
Deaf since the age of 23 and now approaching 80, she spent 50 years hearing absolutely nothing (other than distressing Tinnitus). She never heard her children speak, nor any music at all. She loved birds, but heard not a single one. Whilst the cochlear implant technology is crude, I no longer have to wave in front of her face to attract her attention. Opinion is always dependent upon personal circumstance, but I seriously doubt the government are going to start controlling her like a robot because of this great aid, both to her and the people with whom she communicates.
Snak = What a nice story - and a sensible view.
Having worked with a lot of disabled and disadvantage it is great to see what relatively simple technology can do to improve and enhance their lives.
