Do you agree in misrochip implantation in humans?

It depends on what the microchip does, if its used in treating any illness or assists with any disabilities, eg: a implantable microprocessor that would aid the deaf in hearing, I am all for it. If its for vanity or biological enhancment or human tracking, no way. We are not canned products to be barcoded and categorised.

I have a microchip implanted in my left arm just above my elbow. It can be traced by using GPS, supermarket checkout scanners and garage door openers.

Of course, they basically just screw the implants into your bone. Very pricey though, around 600 per tooth or more.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3679313.stm\n\nNew teeth 'could soon be grown'\n \nLiving teeth are better for gums than false ones \nTechnology to grow replacement teeth could mean the end of dentures. \nScientists at King's College London have been awarded £500,000 to help them develop human teeth from stem cells. \n\nThe company Odontis, set up by the college, hopes to develop its research for tests on humans within two years after successful research on mice. \n\nStem cells, the so-called master cells, would be programmed to develop into teeth and then transplanted into the patient's jaw where the gap is. \n\nIt is thought it would then take two months for the tooth to fully develop. \n\nHealthy gums \n\nBut it could be five years before the technology is widely available to the general public. \n\nOn average Britons aged over 50 lose around 12 teeth out of 32. \n\nProfessor Paul Sharpe is the genetic research scientist behind the technique and head of division of Craniofacial Biology and Biomaterials at the Dental Institute at King's College. \n\nHe said: "A key advantage of our technology is that a living tooth can preserve the health of the surrounding tissues much better than artificial prosthesis. \n\n"Teeth are living, and they are able to respond to a person's bite. \n\n"They move and in doing so they maintain the health of the surrounding gums and teeth." \n\nThe cost should not be more than the price of synthetic implants of between £1,500 - £2,000. \n\nHis project has been awarded £300,000 from the Wellcome Trust, £100,000 from the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (Nesta) and £100,000 from a business sponsor. \n\nA spokesman for the British Dental Association (BDA) said: "The BDA welcomes projects like Odontis and looks forward to seeing further progress in this field." \n\nhttp://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/05/03/teeth.replace/\n\nhttp://forums.stangnet.com/archive/index.php/t-517536.html

yes; if the implant is inserted BEHIND the muscle instead of on top of the muscle

Am I the only person that thinks a direct relationship between breast implants and the intelligence of the future is slightly worrying

Where on earth do people come up with these rediculous fabrications. I do hope you are not gullible and believe this. If this were true, bread sales would sky rocket and there certainly would be no need for breast implants would there. :)

Yes, VeriChip is the maker of the chip for humans. The chip contains your medical info, has GPS, and contains credit information as well. The sister company is Digital Angel, which deals with chips in pets. And the stock is cheap right now.

Yes, DNA manipulation in post-natal humans, Has Already Been Done, With Some Success, Consider BMT (Bone Marrow Transplant).

Don't be discouraged by all of these biased answers.  For some reason people can be so hateful, and ugly when it comes to this topic.  If they don't have them or have first hand experience with them, I would take their advice with a grain of salt.\nI have implants and I love them.  My husband said that he was happy with what I had too, but I wasn't.  I got them for me.  My clothes fit better now, because I actually have something to fill my shirts.  And people are not going to say anything about it, that girl is so uninformed about implants.  No one will even know, unless you want them to.\nI researched it for over a year, before I finally made my decision.  I have had them for about a year now, and I absolutely love them, and have no regrets.\n\nThis website helped me tremendously when making my decision:\nhttp://allaboutplasticsurgery.com/

An implant the size of a rice grain could significantly impact the way hospitals view and keep patient records. A letter from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated that a radio frequency identification (RFID) implantable tag, manufactured by Palm Beach, Fla.-based VeriChip, was the only product of its kind on the market. VeriChip markets an 11 millimeter RFID tag that is injected into fatty tissue just above the right tricep.\n\nThe chip can radio an identification number to a proprietary VeriChip scanner. The FDA ruling, in effect, allowed the manufacturer to seek a final re view process to determine if the technology can be used in U.S. hospitals. The FDA approval process will likely center on privacy concerns such as if the technology would make protected patient information vulnerable to improper disclosure.\n\nThe technology, which holds potential for storing patient demographic information and medical history, is already in use for standard biometric security applications and in the financial market. It is also quietly gaining ground elsewhere. In April, the Italian Ministry of Health began a six-month pilot project using the chips in hospitals, and Mexico has studied the tags' use for identifying children in the event of abduction,

it is already happening, pick up last months issue of wired, there is a whole slue or RFID tags out already, motorola just developed a medical implant the size of a grain of rice to be implanted with patient medical and family history as well as a tracker for new borns, the bad thing is that you can hack a RFID from over a few hundred feet away with a laptop.\n\nAlso the bible says that this is the mark of the beast.

Push-ups or implants.

First question. If you mean sexual interciurse then of course, IVF (AI) etc\nBut as this is biology then ill assume you mean syngamy between gamets. \nIn which case the option is cloning which is not established as viable in humans yet (Korean research is under fraud investigation so its validity unclear at present) but is not permitted in most countries anyway.\n\nAs to the second question:- NO\nAsides one alleged and unlikely case (the virgin birth of mary yielding jesus christ which if it was true (unlikely) was a dead end as it was a male), parthenogensis (asexual reproduction) has never been reported in humans. Morever it is very unlikely to be viable or to occur due to imprinting etc.

Pay them? We have to pay them? You mean I'm supporting those breast implants? I DON"T think so!!! **wags finger**\n\nI'll save my own life thank you very much.

these are actual excerpts from an article i found on yahoo search\n\nEDMONTON -- Imagine a world where you're taken unconscious and with no identification to a hospital. The doctor scans the microchip implanted in your shoulder, downloads your medical identification number and links up with a secure network that says you're a diabetic and allergic to Tylenol.\n\n"This is all happening relatively quickly," said Ian Kerr, an expert in ethics, law and technology who spoke Friday at the Access and Privacy Conference in Edmonton. "I don't think we're that far off."\n \nBut already, people have been able to clone the chips. While that doesn't give them complete medical information, issues of privacy and security must be raised, Kerr said.

If  you mean a form of a bio-chip. Hell no. I would never get that.
